    Thanks everyone!! I made the brussel sprouts tonight and they were amazing good!! I cooked them with a little bacon, salt, and pepper. They may be my new favorite veggie. Going to try roasting them next time.

    I like them in vegetable soup. And I like to make a hash with potato or sweet potato, ham, and a poached egg - this usually happens when I have leftover roasted potatoes and Brussels.

    Just roasted some tonight - before roasting, tossed them in some olive oil, parm, minced garlic, s & p, fresh lemon juice. Yum!

    I'm happy enough with them just boiled.

    If you want some variety and have boiled /mashed potatoes left overs, you could try a bubble and squeak bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/164622/bubble-and-squeak may want to change some of the ingredients to fit your calorie budget.

    Roast, roast, roast, roast. My fave combo is to use soy sauce, stevia, salt and pepper and then roast. Sometimes I will add garlic and cayenne. Sweet and salty and sometimes spicy. YUM

    Roast with olive oil salt and pepper or sautée in a pan with one piece of bacon.

    The one time I made them, I roasted them with olive oil and garlic powder. They weren't awful but they weren't something I'd make again. I'll have to try again with different seasonings and stuff.

    Clearly everyone here has already listed the best way...Roasted with salt and pepper (after sauteing in a little bacon fat for a few minutes if you have the calories). Mmmmm i'd eat those babies with every meal.

    I haven't done this yet, but I'm my hubs and I are obsessed with shallots, portabella mushrooms and garlic sauted together. We had the mixture with asparagus this week (amazing) and I can see it being tasty with fresh brussel sprouts. Hope you find something you like!

    I like to slice them and fry them up in a little bit of olive oil on a cast iron skillet. Add some salt and pepper to taste or even some bacon. Mmmm....

    ^^ My favorite way also. Brussel sprouts are one of my favourite vegetables.

    I agree with all the votes for roasted, but I also like the steamable bags of brussel sprouts and then just add a little butter, salt, pepper to taste.

    Italian spizzat:
    Olive oil to brown some garlic, then add chicken on the bone. Brown chicken.
    Add Brussels sprouts and potatoes.
    Add two inches water and put a lid on it.
    Summer one hour. Salt to taste.

    Remove from heat and let set. It's a magical flavor combination! So simple and the product is much more than the sum of its parts. Economical and filling.

    They never once gave me gas and I eat tons of them.

    PS: I either roast them with chopped bacon and/or tossed in olive oil or melted butter--first you halve them, and throw the loose leaves/pieces in, they get crispy and nice. I also pan fry them slowly, but they usually do better in the oven.

    I roast them, coat in salt and pepper. Then I toss them in a maple balsamic reduction I made while they're roasting. Sometimes I'll add a little lemon juice or zest to cut the sweetness of the balsamic reduction. It's amazing

    Smoked Brussels sprouts are also amazing. We just put a little bit of dry bbq seasoning on them and put them on smoker it was delicious

    I also like to roast them and mix with a little feta cheese

    Stir-fry quick and hot in chili oil and drizzle with a balsamic reduction and lemon juice.
