375. A lovely and unique appetizer to serve is Brussel Sprouts Crostini. Found originally on
Giada's Recipes on Food Network. Just following the simple steps in this recipe creates a beautiful bite.
I was thrilled to find Brussels sprouts on the stalk. They were fresh, green and a delight to work with. Each sprout was crisp and was easy to work with and no discard. Most bags of sprouts must be trimmed and have little leaves removed.
The roasting process was so simple and I used parchment paper on my baking sheet. What did we do before parchment paper? It makes baking and cooking with ease.
The crostini I used was bought and had an herb garlic flavor. They were small and crispy and were a perfect size. It is difficult finding french bread that is skinny enough for a small bite. But if you can find it...I would use fresh bread any day, sliced, rub with olive oil and toasted till crisp.

The recipe came together quickly and was a beautiful start to a lovely meal and they are so attractive as an appetizer.
"Brussel Sprouts are misunderstood - probably because most people don't know how to cook them."
