50 Shades of Green Challenge day 10

What's your go-to veg? The one you always cook because A) everyone likes it and B) it is fast and easy? We all love Brussel sprouts over here. Not always, but I finally found a way that appeals to my kids. Pan seared then finished in the oven. They are sweet and yet flavorful and finished with plenty of salt. So good I have to make extra so I can have leftovers cold right out of the fridge!

cut off the little stem then cut the sprout in half. Heat up your cast iron or oven-safe pan and add a dollop of refined coconut oil. Once it is hot add your Brussel sprouts face down in a single layer. You want to brown them so give em' some space!

cook over medium high heat until a nice brown forms after a few minutes. This will give some flavor so don't skip the step. Then you can stick the oven-safe pan right into your hot 350 degree oven. Bake for 4/5 minutes to soften the Brussel sprouts and create perfection. Remove from the oven and serve. I like to sprinkle Gomasio on top too. At least give it a healthy shake of salt and pepper!
