This is a simple yet delicious recipe that takes little time to put together. It's a tasty way to incorporate a healthy, and often snubbed, vegetable into one's diet. I've been cooking Brussels sprouts this way for years. I'm not sure where I got the recipe. Using fresh Brussels sprouts is preferred naturally, but if not readily available, frozen Brussels sprouts may be used instead. If using frozen Brussels sprouts, you may have to drain any excess liquid that is rendered while cooking the sprouts.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sprouts. Look for Brussels sprouts that are about 1-2 inches in diameter, firm, and have tightly closed leaves. Avoid sprouts that are yellowed, wilted, or have brown spots.
  • Trim the sprouts. Use a sharp knife to trim the stem end of each sprout. You can also remove any yellow or wilted leaves.
  • Cook the sprouts properly. Brussels sprouts can be roasted, sautéed, grilled, or steamed. No matter which method you choose, cook the sprouts until they are tender but still have a little bit of bite. Overcooked sprouts will be mushy and bland.
  • Season the sprouts well. Brussels sprouts have a slightly bitter flavor, so it's important to season them well. Salt, pepper, garlic, and onion powder are all good options. You can also add herbs like thyme, rosemary, or sage.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to cook Brussels sprouts. Try different recipes and find the ones that you and your family enjoy the most.

Conclusion:

Brussels sprouts are a delicious and versatile vegetable that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They are a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. When cooked properly, Brussels sprouts are tender, slightly sweet, and slightly nutty. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give Brussels sprouts a try.
