Tips:

Choose perfect sprouts: Look for firm, brightly colored Brussels sprouts with tightly closed leaves. Avoid any that are yellowing or have loose leaves.
Trim and prep: Trim the stem end of the sprouts and remove any yellow or damaged leaves. If the sprouts are large, cut them in half or quarters.
Cook them right: There are many ways to cook Brussels sprouts, but roasting, sautéing, and steaming are all great options. Be careful not to overcook them, as they can quickly become mushy.
Add some flavor: Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors when cooking Brussels sprouts. Try adding bacon, nuts, cheese, or dried cranberries. You can also toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper for a simple but delicious side dish.
Serve them warm: Brussels sprouts are best served warm. If you're making them ahead of time, reheat them gently before serving.
