Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Potatoes

5 from 4 votes
This Greek recipe is inspired by a traditional recipe from the Blue Zone Greek island of Ikaria, renowned for its longevity and home to some amazing green Mediterranean cooking. Pretty much everything in the cabbage family – brassica – figures prominently in the local cuisine and the original rendition of this calls for something called papoulies, very much like bok choy. I have reworked this Greek recipe with Brussels sprouts instead. Remember the extra virgin olive oil, please, to ensure this is Mediterranean Diet cooking at its best!
