One of my favorite ways to prepare them is combining olive oil, salt, pepper and rosemary. But this time I prepared them with some paprika [...]

This is another great roasted brussels sprouts recipe – I was so impressed with regular roasted brussels sprouts the other night so I decided to make some more, only this time, I added a little bit of balsamic vinegar. I love balsamic vinegar – it has such a nice flavor.
