Do we all have the “I hated brussels when I was a kid story?” We have come very far with our methods for how we prepare Brussels, haven’t we? I think cheese is a MUST HAVE for this yummy veggie and especially when it’s prepared to be super crispy from oven roasting it! When I tell you that these Brussels disappeared faster than anything else on the table, I’m not lying! We were eating them right out of the serving bowl and savoring every bite! Don’t leave out that finishing squeeze of lemon! It really brings this dish over the top!
