My husband and I had dinner at a steak house here in Houston called J. Alexander’s and I ordered their side special of Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Cauliflower. I love roasted vegetables, so I knew I would really like this. After eating this side dish, I was hooked! J. Alexander’s roasted these vegetables to perfection…they had golden bits and slightly charred bits that gave them such a wonderful flavor. They also added a buttery breadcrumb that added a great buttery flavor to this as well. This was the perfect side dish to my steak and my husband’s salmon. I decided to give it a try at home and I think I came very close to how I remember it. I have made this twice since our dinner and it’s becoming a family favorite…give it a try and see what you think!
