Cheesy Roasted Brussels Spouts

I remember thinking Brussels sprouts were evil and disgusting as a child, but if I had eaten them prepared this way I think I would have changed my mind.  Roasted Brussels sprouts are a favorite vegetable for my children.  I have experimented with different seasonings, but this combo seems to appeal the most when we are craving cheesy and savory sprouts.

Ingredients:

2 cups Brussels sprouts stems removed and halved (save the leaves that fall off)

1-2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon paprika

¼ cup shredded cheese (I used Monterrey Jack)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.  Spray with olive oil spray.
2. Place Brussels sprout halves and leaves in a medium bowl.  Drizzle olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.  Shake/stir to mix and coat all of the sprouts. 
3. Spread Brussels out in a single layer flat side down on the baking sheet.  Top with shredded cheese.
4. Bake 20-25 minutes until Brussels sprouts are lightly browned and crispy.
