Roasting vegetables that are usually steamed or boiled seems to be every where these days and for good reason. Asparagus, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts all seem to improve with a little caramelising. Brussels sprouts are actually in my opinion the king of the green vegetable kingdom, and I would eat them much more often if it was up to me. I am afraid the rest of my family does not necessarily agree, they are willing to put up with them with a Sunday roast but that is about it.
But with my husband and father in Chicago for a few days I find my self on my own for dinners, so I can cook what ever I want. This will often be eggplant or liver but it is the season of the Brussels sprout and I had one last potato from my garden to eat so I decided to roast them together.
This could hardly be called a recipe really just a suggestion. Toss Brussels sprouts and chopped potato together with a little olive oil and some salt . I used about 2/3 sprouts to 1/3 potato.
The potatoes need to be cut quite small so that the sprouts do not get over cooked before the potatoes are ready.
Throw the whole lot in to a 400 oven for about 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked through and sprouts are nicely brown around the edges.
This would make a great side dish to go along with your turkey dinner or any roast for that matter, but it made a great one dish vegetarian meal eaten on the couch in front of the X factor.
