My savory and delicious Garlic Smashed Brussels Sprouts are seasoned to absolute perfection. They are a perfect side dish for any occasion, even the pickiest eaters love these!

How do you feel about Brussels sprouts? Do you love them, or hate them? Brussels sprouts are healthy and delicious. They are part of the cruciferous family of vegetables, which also includes cauliflower, cabbage, kale, bok choy, and broccoli. Roasting Brussels sprouts is a delicious way to enjoy them and draw out their natural flavor just perfectly, but I like to take it a step further and boil, season and then roast them.

My kids haven’t always liked Brussel sprouts, but now they can’t get enough of this nutritious veggie! They’re fresh and healthy, but still hearty. I like to serve them alongside steak, roasted chicken, and baked salmon, but they pair well with all sorts of proteins. In my opinion, the key to loving Brussels sprouts is preparing them the right way.  They turn out perfectly crispy on the outside, with a Melt-In-Your-Mouth center. They are so delicious making them one of our favorite side dishes.
