Shredded Parmesan Brussels Sprouts
Yes officer I am perfectly capable of running 6,943 miles next week, which is what it would take to burn the holiday calories off.
Can’t I just pay a fine?
Yes, here we are…heavier with guilt and fat cells.
Why don’t we dabble in some greenery today, not a running trail (although god knows I need it.) Lets make some Brussels sprouts..the kind that don’t seem like you are paying a fine.
INGREDIENTS (serves 4)
2lbs of Brussels Sprouts, coarsely chopped
Olive Oil, just enough to coat the sprouts
¼ cup Parmesan Cheese
Salt & Pepper
DIRECTIONS
Pre-Heat your oven to 425.
Coarsely chop your Brussels sprouts and toss with Olive Oil, Salt, and Pepper. Place Mixture on a foil lined baking pan. Roast for 25-30 minutes, tossing every 5 minutes .
Top with Parmesan and really really really enjoy.
Only 6,942 miles to go. Work it.

Ha you're post cracked me up... there aren't enough miles for me to walk off all the crap I ate this week (heck... month).
Oh yum, bacon & walnuts...you have my wheels turning! With the leftovers I added in a can of whitebeans and some lemon juice.
Printing this off as we speak!! ;-)
Happy New Years Dear!! xo
One of my favorite veggies! That dish looks extremely scrummy.
Cheers,

K I just printed this! Will be making it soon :) Hope you have a great New Year!! O and by the way.. why did you say I was 'mean'.. I wasnt dissin on crescents! lol I love the little suckers.. their just not on my diet foods list! lol
DUH..nevermind.. I get it! Sorry I'm a true blonde at heart :) haha
It sure looks beautiful! Yum I would like some now!
I love brussels sprouts! Great idea to roast them, too. Beautiful and simple, perfect after all the holiday excesses. :D
These sound incredible! Brussels sprouts are one of my favorite vegetables. We made them for Christmas day with just some olive oil and coarse salt and pepper. I don't think I've ever had them with parm... so I will have to try that!
after all of these terribly fatty holiday meals, this looks absolutely deeelicious. yum!
Sounds delicious but so easy to whip up. Tempting click too. Happy New Year to you and family!

My kind of food...gonna try this..
My Heartiest Wishes for 2011..:)
Tasty appetite
This looks fantastic! I definitely want to give this recipe a try!
Yes, I would rather just pay the fine. However, it would be no punishment for me to enjoy your delicious brussels sprouts. I know brussels sprouts are a love em or hate em food but, I love them.
Happy New Year to you!

What a tasty way to enjoy some brussels sprouts!
Yum, I just bought a stalk and have been plotting. This sounds the best so far. Happy New Year.
Mmm if I can't pay a fine for those holiday calories then this is certainly the next best thing!
I try to incorporate sprouts in different dishes I make..glad to find another cool new way!
Have a great n prosperous 2011!!

oh i would happily trade in a run for those delicious sprouts! i love that they're shredded, they look delicious!
You know...I said I was going to make these this holiday season and never did! Now I like your idea to make them and feel good about it b/c they're healthy and delicious! (I ran 4 today)...that makes only 6,939 for me!
Veggies that I would actually eat. That's brilliant! My commentary to the calorie police would be much the same after yesterday's feasting.
I'm going to be honest, I've never been a huge fan of brussels sprouts, but one of my resolutions is to eat more veggies. I think cheese is a good first step to accomplishing that :) I'll have to give these a fair shot! Hope 2011 brings you fantastic things :)
Jennifurla...I have NEVER shredded brussel sprouts! That's it. Shredding this week out of shear curiosity! ;)
Haha... You had me laughing out loud about the fine, I imagine I have to run about 10,000 miles the way vie been gorging myself lately! As for chopping up the sprouts, what a brilliant idea... I usually eat mine whole, but this is one to try out!
I am with you on the running. I might have even more miles to run then you:)
I have never eaten brussel sprouts...but your recipe sounds so good I might have to try them!
I'm going to try these this evening. They sound delicious and Bob loves Brussels Sprouts. I hope the new year brings you continued health and happiness. Blessings...Mary
What a cute blog! and ohmygosh - YUMMMN BRUSSELS SPROUTS! I was scared of them my ENTIRE life a few months ago I tried these little balls of yum and fell in love! What a great recipe! =)
xoXOxo

I never liked brussel sprouts until I had them roasted.
love brussels sprouts and with parmesan? yum!!
I have to go back to the gym soon... :(
Happy New Year to you.
Ditto what Bo said.
They have to be seasoned and roasted juuuust right. I would totally eat these.
I so agree about roasting, it adds such a kick to most any vegetable! I can't believe I didn't find this out sooner!
Wow, we to just boil them whole and just toss them with butter and pepper, but it's hard to find the tiny sprouts since most at the grocery stores are huge. This dish may actually allow me to cook brussels sprouts even when I can't find the tiny ones! Thanks!
Shredding or chopping brussel sprouts seems like a wonderful idea . . . just picked up some at the store today and found your simple and wonderful suggestion. Trying tonight.
