Leafy crunch with a kick of CRP…
Roasted Brussels sprouts – one of our favorite sides- is made even better (in our book) with the addition of a little heat. That crunch and texture are brought to even more life with a little sprinkle of crushed red pepper. It’s not an overwhelming spiciness here (but you can always add more red pepper flakes), so most everyone in the family can enjoy this recipe. Try it with roasted pork or steaks – they really add a flair to a simple meat meal.
