Brussels sprouts from the oven recipe

Comfort food – Brussels sprouts from the oven

I love autumn. Sunny days, red-cheeks from the cold but clear blue sky, all those beautiful colours outside … As long as it’s not grey and rainy, I think this is a beautiful season!

I also love autumn food. Mushrooms, celeriac, chicory, pumpkin and beets: all delicious! That feeling of coming home in the evening when it’s already dark outside, heat up over a large cup of steaming soup, casserole or tasty stew.

Comfort food

Comfort food is the right word for that autumn feeling, and these Brussels sprouts from the oven are definitely comforting. Quick and easy, perfect for a weekday. When you stir fry sprouts or bake them in the oven the taste really is a lot less bitter than when you boil them. So even if you were not a real sprouts fan, just try this dish!
