Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Sriracha Aioli


Often the simplest things in life bring us the most joy. Whether it is your favorite food, reading a page turner novel or taking an afternoon nap – these are the things that bring us comfort and joy.

Lately several friends have been diagnosed with cancer and it really opens your to the meaning of life. It reminds us that we must cherish each and every day, each and every person and don’t sweat the small stuff.


The other night, hubby and I had a simple dinner – leftover turkey loaf and roasted whole Brussels sprouts with sriracha aioli. Note to self – make and post the turkey loaf soon – you will love it and it is even better the next day. I could not believe how simple the preparation for the Brussels sprouts was. Again, the simple things in life are often the best.

As Oprah teaches – live your best life!



Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Sriracha Aioli

1 Lb. Brussels Sprouts, trim ends only and leave whole
Olive oil
Salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 350

In a baking dish add the Brussels sprouts and toss with olive oil until well coated and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 20 to 25 minutes, so the Brussels are still firm. Serve with dipping sauce as a main dish or appetizer.

Sriracha Aioli

4 T. Mayonnaise
1 to 2 T. Sriracha (add more or less depending how hot you like it)

Mix the ingredients in a small bowl and let sit in refrigerator until ready to use.
