I wasn't sure about the basil at first, but it really worked well with the sprouts. I'll definitely be making this again!

The Brussels sprouts were a bit too firm for my taste, but the flavor was spot on. I'll try roasting them for a few minutes longer next time.

I tried this recipe last night and it was a hit! The sprouts were crispy and flavorful, and the basil added a nice touch of freshness.
