    hmmm, I love SPROOTS! Interestingly you can boil them in your kettle too. I have roast sproots with fake tatties (radishes), garlic and honey and have them either alone as a small meal/snack or with a steak.

    note: not a typo, I'm Scottish.

    Chopped fairly fine they can he hidden in a vegetable stir fry for those that don't particularly like them. Good with leeks, celery, pepper, etc.

    Halve, toss in olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast halved side down. Roast at 450° for 26 minutes.

    This 👆 It's how I cook mine too. Then i typically drizzle with a little balsalmic vinegar.
    I love brussle sprouts but i can understand how they can be an acquired taste. LOL

    I made a brussels sprout salad for some friends who were on a keto diet. I shredded the brussels sprouts, very thinly, then added fresh lemon juice and olive oil. Added pecorino cheese, pine nuts and dried cranberries. I didn't think I was going to like it, but it was actually very delish!

    I asked anyone if they wanted the left over brussels sprouts, as I wasn't going to eat them, yuck. My friend said ohhh you should roast them! so she took some and roasted them with a little bit of olive oil drizzled over them. The leaves that fell off got brown and crispy and were actually very good.

    So ..I took a leap and bought some on my own. I took some with other veggies, and roasted them in a very hot oven, and drizzled with olive oil. Mixed with other veggies they were fantastic. I seasoned with salt and pepper and put some feta cheese over the top. Now, it's one of my go-to's and I actually DO like it. I've not tried with some of the suggested garlic, and others that people have mentioned, but I will. The veggies that I mixed in with them were: Mushrooms, green beans, carrots, peppers and whatever else I had on had, cauliflower, broccoli... Just make sure not to roast too long or they'll all get mushy, and I don't think mushy roasted veggies taste very good.

    Give it a try maybe you will like them!! :)

    Slice them thin and throw a handful at the time in your salad. You will not even notice they are there.
    Actually cooking them enhance their flavor.
    I personally eat them any way you make them, but usually either I steam them and eat them with no dressing or cut them in small pieces and add them to salads.
