Roasted Red Beets & Brussels Sprouts Recipe Ingredients
3 large red beets, cleaned, peeled, and cut into uniformly thick slices
1 pound fresh Brussels sprouts, ends removed and cut in half (Look for smaller Brussels sprouts that are all about the same size. This will ensure the sprouts cook evenly).
3 T. olive oil, divided
1 T. garlic powder, divided
1 red onion, outer skin removed and cut into uniformly thick slices and then quartered
6 sprigs fresh thyme
1 T. pink Himalayan sea salt
1 t. fresh cracked black pepper
Tip: Those that love bacon with their Brussel sprouts don’t fear. Simply add chopped raw bacon to the pan of veggies and roast according to the directions. The bacon will add another layer of flavor to this dish and, for me, makes it even more delicious!
