Hello all... I am planning to make Brussels Sprouts for dinner tonight but have never cooked fresh ones before. Any suggestions? Boiled? Roasted? Sauteed? Your help is greatly appreciated!

    I take fresh brussel sprouts and blanch them in boiling water for about 1 min (just enough to be bright green). Then I pat them dry and put them on a baking sheet. You can drizzle a little bit of olive oil on them if you want to, but you don't have to, and add salt, pepper, and rosemary (you could use thyme or garlic too). Roast them on 400 for about 20-30 mins (until they start to get brown). To finish them off, splash them w/ a good balsamic vinegar. They are super yummy. Hope you have a great dinner!

    Brussel Sprouts when roasted release all of their natural sugar. I cut them in half, place them in a bowl, and toss them with s & p, and olive oil. Put them on a baking sheet at 400 degrees till tender and grate some fresh parmesan while still hot. Delish and the only way I can eat them!

    Try Baking with a little olive oil, with crushed pecans and dried cranberry. You should be able to google it. I found it inline and modified to make it healthy, but it's a really nice combination.

    Cut in half and cut off the bottom ends

    rub with duck fat and salt

    put in a pre heated 500 degree oven for about 20 min, stirring them around and flipping them over every so often

    drizzle with balsamic when they are done

    I just made these a few minutes ago--they are so good.

    Preheat oven to 450 deg Fahrenheit.
    Cut the the hard stems off the brussel sprouts, cut the sprouts in half on their axis.
    Coat the bottom of an oven-safe skillet with olive oil. Heat on med-high.
    When the oil is shimmering, put in the brussel sprouts cut side down in a single layer. Toss in 5+ cloves of garlic (i used whole cloves, crushed with the side of a knife to release flavor).
    Season with salt and pepper and cook for 5 minutes, until sprouts begin to brown.
    Move the brussel sprouts to the preheated oven: roast for 25-30 min, shaking occasionally.
    Season to taste.
    Eat 'em.

    I made 'em real simple last week - cut off the hard ends...tossed into food steamer for 20 mins...then seasoned with garlic powder and Lawry's seasoning salt....oh and some melted butter. Simple and good if you don't have time to do much else.

    The standard is steamed. If you do it that way, do not overcook them. You want them soft not squidgy.

    But roasted is much much nicer.

    I don't cut them before roasting them, but I see no reason not to. :-)

    My favorite is oven roasted. Toss in olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt. Cook on sheet in 350 degree oven about 15 min. depending on your oven. Yummo!

    Yep, love my roasted brussel sprouts tossed in EVOO, salt/pepper, and garlic. Mrs Dash has a whole bunch of fun flavored seasoning. I'll prolly try those next time. I do love balsamic vinegar but never thought to put it on my sprouts. Sounds zingy-yummy!

    I cut the bottom and peel off the outter leaves (had one batch that had bugs under the leaves, and I've never trusted them again), drop em in a ziplock bag, add 2 tsp of garlic olive oil and any seasonings you like.

    SHAKE IT!

    Then dump them out on a cookie sheet covered with foil. I sprinkle them with Lawry's seasoned salt and pop em in the oven for 25-30 minutes at 375.

    I love being able to change how they're seasoned with the different spices and stuff too- hot sauces, etc.

    Roast them!!! Put them in a bowl, coat wth EVOO and spices (chili or ceyenne powder, onion/garlic powder, black pepper, or some cajun/bayou mix) and roast at 400 degrees for about 20 min until they just start to brown.

    Don't boil or steam them. Just thinking about how that ruins them makes me sad. :cry:
