brussels sprouts & mushrooms oven roasted

Oven roasting gives a very different flavour to brussels sprouts! Anyone who doesn't usually like these vegetables will gobble these ones down.

Ingredients:

1 lb brussels sprouts, washed and trimmed
3 tbsps olive oil
1/3 tsp sea salt
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
1 sweet vidalia onion, chopped into large chunks
2 large portobello mushrooms, sliced
1/4 cup chopped walnuts (for garnish)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400F
2. After washing brussels sprouts, trim hard ends off bottoms and cut a small cross in the bottom of each sprout. Place in a large bowl.
3. Mix together olive oil, salt, pepper, minced garlic, chopped onions and sliced portobello mushrooms. Drizzle mixture over the brussels sprouts and toss lightly to coat.
4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and transfer ingredients to the baking sheet. Place in oven and bake until lightly browned for about 30 minutes. If they are browning too quickly, you can place another piece of parchment paper lightly over top during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
5. Transfer to a bowl and sprinkle with chopped walnuts.
