Last night I roasted brussel sprouts to the point that I almost burned them, in the hopes that they would not smell once cooked. I have some left this morning and they still smell yucky... any suggestions on how to get rid of the smell?

    Lol :smile: are you going to eat them, smell? Or does your kitchen smell? Baking soda in a cup or bowl, or cook something else to counter the smell. My husband hates the smell of my kimchi and bone broth. Maybe open a window.

    If you're eating them maybe squeeze some lemon over them.

    Cooking them with onions and garlic helps.

    for a treat I fry them with some coconut oil, honey and nuts. It's like desert.

    They are just smelly, like broccoli. I imagine my coworkers hate how much reheated broccoli I eat. It's going to be somewhat nice this weekend and I can not wait to open my kitchen windows, my house smells meat-y and food-y since I've been cooking so much and I'd like to air it out!!

    I had my leftover sprouts for lunch and even though slightly smelly, they tasted fine. I've never roasted sprouts before and I thought that like with cauliflower, the smell would be completely gone by roasting. A squeeze of lemon over them sounds good!

    A nice way to prepare brussels sprouts is to boil them 5-10 minutes , drain, drizzle with walnut oil, butter, and salt & pepper. Delish, and no smell.

    I LOVE burnt brussels sprouts with some oil, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper. I never notice the smell I guess because all my favorite veggies smell! LOL Broccoli, cabbage, brussels sprouts, asparagus, artichokes...

    They are in the same family as cabbage & broccoli so they smell. I love them shredded in a food processor & roasted with olive oil until they caramelize. Toss some bacon pieces & enjoy!

    I cook a bunch of bacon first then slice the little heads really thin and toss them right into the bacon fat, cook them, toss back in the bacon and UMMMMMM
