Brussels sprouts … but believe me once you have tried this simple crisp simple recipe this will become your household favorite as well.
During the holiday season we happened to go out to dine out at this local restaurant ‘coco cabana’ and I must say I had one of the best dining experiences from the perspective of the vegetarian food. As you can imagine being vegetarian it sometimes could be hard to find decent options in regular restaurants.
This place has some super good veggie options that tasted pretty good.
Brussels Fritos was one of the highlights .. it was a crispy and delicious which I believe was fried and finished in the oven. I tried to recreate the same but a healthier version…. So here is completely oven Roasted
