Roasted Parmesan Brussels Sprouts

Brussels sprouts are, indeed, named after Brussels, Belgium. But did you know that they were recognized as the country’s official vegetable by the king in 1820?

Well, they would have been, if they had a king or even existed! Although several sources cite this event, Belgium was part of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands until 1830.

Don’t worry; not only is this recipe real, it’s real delicious, too!
