Roasted Brussels Sprouts
9 ingredients
Produce
1 tsp Garlic powder
1/2 tsp Onion powder
Baking & Spices
1/4 tsp Pepper
1/2 tsp Salt
Oils & Vinegars
2 tbsp Olive oil
- ROASTING TIME: Time will vary depending on how large or small the brussels sprouts are. This recipe is timed for smaller brussels sprouts, so the cook time will increase slightly if using larger brussels sprouts. Bake time is 15-20 minutes. Depending on how well done you prefer your vegetables, check at 10-12 minutes for doneness.
Larger brussels, check at 15-18 minutes. Brussels should be fork-tender. Check again at 20-25 minutes if needed. - SPACING: In order to achieve even roasting of the sprouts it’s important to lay them out onto the baking sheet in a single, spaced out layer. If they are too close, they will steam together rather than roast and crisp up.
Bread & Baked Goods
1/3 cup Panko breadcrumbs
Dairy
2 tbsp Butter, unsalted
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Other
1 1/2 lbs Brussels sprouts, (ends trimmed and sliced in half)
The Family Upstairs
Be careful who you let in.
Soon after her twenty-fifth birthday, Libby Jones returns home from work to find the letter she’s been waiting for her entire life. She rips it open with one driving thought: I am finally going to know who I am.
She soon learns not only the identity of her birth parents, but also that she is the sole inheritor of their abandoned mansion on the banks of the Thames in London’s fashionable Chelsea neighborhood, worth millions. Everything in Libby’s life is about to change. But what she can’t possibly know is that others have been waiting for this day as well—and she is on a collision course to meet them.
Twenty-five years ago, police were called to 16 Cheyne Walk with reports of a baby crying. When they arrived, they found a healthy ten-month-old happily cooing in her crib in the bedroom. Downstairs in the kitchen lay three dead bodies, all dressed in black, next to a hastily scrawled note. And the four other children reported to live at Cheyne Walk were gone.
