Spring Brussels Sprouts everyone will LOVE

I can’t believe Easter has already come and gone and that we are more than half way through April.  That means warmer temps, longer days & humidity in my part of the world.  It also means it is time to celebrate all spring flavors and one of my favorite is lemon.

& Some Brussels Sprouts Too

Not only do I love lemons in the Spring but I really love them with Brussels Sprouts….especially these roasted ones with a little parmesan cheese.  The char from the outside skins on the sprouts really pairs well with the brightness and tang from the lemon juice and zest.

I also think it is really pretty with the bright green sprouts…but you know it is super yummy too.

Some family fun

This past weekend was all about Celebrating Easter and my niece and nephew had a blast hunting for their eggs.  You can see they made quite the haul.  It was so fun watching them get so excited…it made me feel like a kids all over again.

As much fun as the egg hunt was the lunch that followed was even better.  We had an amazing ham, au gratin potatoes, deviled eggs and these Lemon Parmesan Brussels Sprouts.  They were quite the hit, even with the kids.

Even the non-brussels sprout fans were fans of these.

Jazz em up even more

If you wanted to add a little something more you could always throw in some cooked bacon or drizzle with a nice lemon vinaigrette.

Not a fan of parmesan…no worries.  You don’t have to use any cheese, they are great with or without.

Trust me these will be your go to Brussels Sprouts all Spring & Summer long!!
