Several years ago I made Flat, Broke and Busted potatoes. You cook little new potatoes and then smash them and roast them with some seasonings. We love them and make them a lot. I found this recipe doing the same thing with brussels sprouts. They are very good and may be a new favorite way to make them.
These you finish up with some fresh Parmesan cheese which is a nice addition.
Start by trimming the sprouts.
Boil the sprouts for 7-9 minutes to cook them a little bit. If they are large you might need to cook a minute or two longer.
Take out of the boiling water.
Put into an ice bath to stop the cooking. Let them sit in the water for a couple of minutes.
Then take out of the water. I put mine on a mat.
Use a paper towel to dry them off.
I brushed the bottom of the cookie sheet with olive oil. Placed the sprouts on the baking sheet.
I took a class and busted them up.
All the sprouts are busted up.
Brush the top of the sprouts with more olive oil. If you have a seasoned olive oil you could use that if you want.
They have been oiled.
Sprinkle the top with salt
Pepper. Add any other seasonings you might wan.
The recipe called for red pepper flakes. Next time I will use much less. These had a little bit of a kick to them. Place in a preheated 425 oven. Bake for 15 minutes.
While they are baking grate your cheese. The recipe calls for Parmesan cheese but you can use whatever you want.
I didn't measure the cheese.
After 15 minutes take the sprouts out of the oven.
Flip them over. Some of mine stuck a little.
Add some cheese to the tops.
When you get the cheese on all of them, put them back in the oven for another 10-15 minutes. Start watching them at 10 minutes.
