Oven Roasted Garlic Brussels Sprouts

picture and recipe from the cooking photographer

I can't believe brussels spouts have such a bad reputation, they are so good! This recipe is super delicious! Even if you don't think you like burssels sprouts, I hope you still try this, you might just have a change of heart after the first bite.

-2 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved (quartered if large)
-5 cloves garlic, minced fine
-1/2 cup water
-2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
-1/2 teaspoon sea salt
-1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Move oven rack to the upper level and preheat the oven 425 degrees. In a 9x13 inch baking dish, toss together brussels sprouts, garlic, water, oil, salt and pepper and spread out in a single layer. Bake for 40-50 minutes until caramelized to taste, tossing once about 25 minutes into cooking time. Remove from oven, stir and serve. So good!
