Brussels Sprouts?

PrissyPisces

I just saute mine using Pam cooking spray. I add in garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Sometimes I add chopped onions.

Roasted with butter! We melt a few tablespoons of butter on a cookie sheet, brush it out to cover the entire thing, then sprinkle with seasoned salt & garlic powder. Cut the sprouts in half and lay them cut side down in the butter. Roast at 400 until they are as cooked as you like.

I could eat the entire pan.

we usually oven roast them, pan sautee them, or steam them (butter or olive oil) but I've never thought about using BACON before!! What is WRONG with me-definitely on my must try list now!

How do you cook yours? I got some as part of a produce co-op but have no idea how to fix them. Someone said to steam them, but that seems a little boring.

^^Either this or:

drizzled with olive oil, tossed in dry italian dressing mix, splashed with lemon juice, and roasted in the oven at 375 degrees for about 20-25 minutes. Kids love em that way.

ETA: Just realized because the thug kitchen link contains a curse word it will not display correctly and is a broken link...so just google Thug Kitchen Brussel Sprouts and it will pull it up. I used the recipe for thanksgiving last year and it was a hit. Contains Quinoa as well so a good protein dish as well. :-)

I love them roasted, as I'm assuming most here do. Cut them in half (or thirds), lengthwise. Drizzle some olive oil over them, and then sprinkle with salt and pepper. I stick them under the broiler for a bit because I like them with a bit of bite to them. When the outter leaves start to get a little brown, they're good to do! Absolutely delicious. You can do this with wedges of cabbage, too.

So yummy roasted! Just a little olive oil, cracked black pepper, and a good sprinkle of sea salt!

Exactly what Jenibethbu said!!! So tasty!

not so heatlhy way -well, I grew up eating them where you fry bacon in the pan, reserve the grease like a table spoon or two, and then boil the sprouts till tender...and then sautee in the oil reserved with some garlic! the beeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssttttttttt!
oh yeah add crumbled bacon on top
otherwise be average and roast them with some oil and salt and pepper

I cooked with them the other day for the first time in years.

I baked them with cauliflower, onions and garlic coated in Moroccan seasoning, no oil, covered with foil initially then removed and allowed the veges to crunch up a bit.

To serve I roll the vege mix (still hot) in a lettuce leaf with a splash of Tabasco and dunk in a dip made from cottage cheese with a splash of fat free french dressing and pepper .

I eat them any way from raw to steamed, boiled, roasted or dry-fried.
There is no need to use any sprays/oil at any point, unless you want to of course.
Go well with quinoa as a sort of stir fry thingy too.

Steam them and eat with butter and garlic!

I love kale & brussels sprout salad (http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Kale-Brussels-Sprout-Salad-368295).
Like so many others here, I love them roasted.

I also love them steamed, then cooled, as part of a vegetable tray (with a lemony dip). (When my kids were about four, I came home from work to find them eating a mixing bowl full of cold, steamed sprouts I'd prepped in the morning as my contribution to a pot luck.)

My first brussels sprouts favorite, though, was steamed sprouts mixed with stone ground mustard and a little butter. My mom simplified a Bon Appetit recipe (which had all sorts of ingredients....essentially, you were making a mustard dressing starting from mustard seeds and shallots...) by just plopping mustard on them. Horseradish mustard's my favorite.

I have some brussel sprouts with my lunch today, sorry to my coworkers

This. I put a little Balsalmic glaze on top. That's the only way I can eat brussel sprouts

Only thing I hate it makes me sooooooo freakin gassy!

Broil them in the oven after they are tossed with olive oil and pepper! I usually add carrots to broil as well! Always a hit!

MY mother taught me to simmer them in a pot with enough milk to cover them and a little nutmeg. The milk draws out the sulfur flavour, so drain them thouroughy before serving. They are tender and mild, with an earthy flavour. We think of them as a special-occasion dish!

I boil mine with butter and sweet and low until they are soft. My kids even eat them and ask for more.

Roast them in oven ...alittle olive oil and sea salt

I_need_moar_musclez

Cut the ends off. Score a cross into the end. Boil.

Old school.

Man, I'm craving sprouts now!!!

Terrappyn1

Never thought of adding a little parm. I bet that is phenomenal!

EvenThatNameIsTaken

Honestly I love them just steamed, with some carrots and perhaps mushrooms. It may be boring but it's also a nice gentle way to cook them, and you don't have to add anymore calories with oil or butter. The higher quality the brussel sprouts, the better they will taste without adding more ingredients.

YEP! Love them this way. I usually cut them into halves.

To dress it up for special occasions: after roasting you can saute' them with onions, red bell pepper, bacon bits, and a teensy bit of chicken broth.

Roasted brussels sprouts 4 EVA! I like to toss them with a dressing made of equal parts mustard, lemon juice, and olive oil first. Roast at 400' for 30 minutes or so. Crispy and sweet and savory all at once, mmm.

Don't steam them, ewwwww!

RAWR_ImaDinosaur

Roasted with balsamic & garlic. . sprinkle with parm

They taste kind of like small cabbages. Your whole house might smell like farts for a day or two after you make them, but they are delicious, prepared well. If you don't like them the first way, try them another way next time. I think roasting gives the best flavor, because it caramelizes them on the outside and makes them feel very decadent when they're actually low-cal and incredibly healthy!
