🔥 GARLIC SMASHED BRUSSELS SPROUTS 🔥

If you think Brussels sprouts are boring, we have a fun one for ya. Crispy, caramelized edges meet bold garlic flavor for a side dish that's impossible to stop eating (unless there's a fire...then exit the building immediately).

Made with Croix Valley Garlic Barbecue Booster, these smashed Brussels sprouts are packed with savory garlic, herbs, and barbecue-inspired seasoning in every bite.

🛒 INGREDIENTS
• 1½ lbs Brussels sprouts, trimmed
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp Croix Valley Garlic Barbecue Booster
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
• Fresh parsley for garnish

👨‍🍳 DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 425°F.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook Brussels sprouts for 8-10 minutes until just tender.
Drain well and pat dry.
Place sprouts on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Using the bottom of a glass or measuring cup, gently smash each sprout to about ½-inch thick.
Drizzle with olive oil and season generously with Croix Valley Garlic Barbecue Booster.
Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired.
Roast for 20-25 minutes until deeply browned and crispy around the edges.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Perfect alongside steak, chicken, pork, burgers, or as a crowd-pleasing appetizer...or just crush them all yourself and call it good.
