    I cut mine in halves or quarters and then lightly cover them with olive oil, put some fresh garlic and spices (pepper. dried ground bell pepper), then roast them in the oven for about 15 minutes on 400 degrees.

    If you boil them for about 6 minutes and then toss them with a little butter, garlic, and a few bacon crumbles, salt and pepper...they are delicious!!!

    Soak in salt water for 15 minutes. Saute clove of fresh garlic in a couple tablespoons of EVOO, add sprouts and brown. Add half cup of chicken stock and let the liquid cook off or cook sprouts to desired texture. I season liberally with onion, garlic, pepper and anything else that strikes my fancy that night. I like to take mine off while they're still crisp.

    Eta: cut into halves out quarters before you soak them

    I keep it simple.

    Wash, stem and trim about a dozen or so...slice in half and toss in a spoonful of olive oil. Roast at 400° till lightly charred all over, flipping them as needed. Hit 'em with sea salt, fresh ground black pepper and sometimes a splash of balsamic vinegar.

    A local restaurant serves 'em caramelized with a maple syrup reduction. Very tasty but too sweet for me these days. Although I would probably add some coarsely ground pecans to that, but that's just me.

    Best addition to indian curried chicken - In my opinion! :blushing:

    But in absence of time and energy to make a good curry, I usually roast them too haha

    I cook some bacon (don't need much, one or two slices) leaving the fat, add shredded brussels sprouts (they loose some bitterness that way), and finely sliced onions, saute until cooked and at the end drizzle some balsamic over the top... now I want them....

    My favorite, is to steam or boil them until they are just starting to soften, then lightly saute them on the stove with some pancetta, salt and pepper, until they have some nice brown spots. It's very easy and they taste delicious!

    MY FAVORITE VEGGIE BECAUSE OF THIS RECIPE!!

    Brussel Sprout "French Fries"

    Wash, slice off the bottoms, and peel off the outer layer. I spray them with a bit of olive oil then generously coat them with salt and garlic powder (and a bit of pepper).

    I put them in the oven at 400 and roast them till the outsides are black and crispy - about 30-45mins. They end up crispy on the outside and soft on the inside - just like french fries!

    If you've never tried this, brussel sprouts are wonderful if you brush a bit of olive oil on them, sprinkle them with your favorite no-salt spice mix and pepper, then roast them in the oven at 420 degrees for about 25 to 35 minutes (depending on how soft you like them).They come out really sweet and delicious.

    I sear & steam them. Add halved sprouts to a HOT skillet with a little oil of your choice. Put them cut side down to get a little color, as browned as you like. Add seasoning of your choice (I like lemon pepper) - but beware, you pan will start to smoke with the seasoning, if it hasn't already, so get ready to do the next step quick. Add just enough water to evenly cover the bottom of your pan and immediately put a lid on it. Your sprouts are browned, seasoned, and now they're steaming to get done. I usually let it go until the water boiled off, a few minutes. I like them "medium" - not totally soft, but not crunchy either.

    I like to steam mine for about 6 or 7 minutes..let them cool, then roll them in egg whites or egg beaters, and a mixture of club crackers(crushed), Parmesan cheese, oregano and pepper...then bake them till tender....

    wash & pat dry. trim the tips & slice in half. GENTLY.. very gently in a large bowl drizzle with olive oil, then toss gently with garlic and sea salt and powdered parmesean cheese (like the kind you put on pizza) bake in the oven on 400 for about 30-45 minutes.. shake the pan about half way through so they brown a little on both sides and the leaf tips start to blacken. they are AMAZING!

    do you use frozen or fresh brussel sprouts for best results?
  • cazzer69

    Here is my mothers recipe.

    When cooking them for christmas dinner, add them to boiling water sometime in mid november.
    Then add half a pound of salt to the water. Keep them boiling for a month and a half til the water is grey and opaque and the sprouts are mush.
    Then slop them onto the plate.

    In this way you will ensure that when any son you may or may not have grows up he will consider sprouts to be the spawn of satan and ban them permanently from his house.

    Ingredients

    1 ½ pounds brussel sprouts

    ¼ cup olive oil

    ¾ teaspoon sea salt

    ¼ teaspoon (or 10 grinds of) black pepper

    2 tablespoons maple syrup

    ½ cup toasted hazelnuts, coarsely chopped (optional)

    Directions

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

    To prepare the brussel sprouts, remove any yellow or brown outer leaves, cut off the stems, and cut in half.

    In a large bowl, toss the brussel sprouts, olive oil, salt, and pepper together. Once all of the brussel sprouts are coated in oil, spread them into a 9×13 (or larger) baking dish or sheet tray to roast. Note: You may want to line your sheet tray with foil for easy cleanup because the caramelizing process leaves a sticky residue.

    After 15 minutes, stir the brussel sprouts around with a spatula or large spoon to even out the browning. After 30 minutes, stir in the maple syrup.

    Continue to roast the brussel sprouts for about 15 more minutes, or until they are fork tender (about 45 minutes total roasting time).

    Toss the roasted brussel sprouts with the hazelnuts and devour!

    Do-ahead Tip: Steps 1-4 can be prepared the day before and stored covered in the refrigerator. You can finish the remaining 15 minutes of roasting time (steps 5-6) right before serving.



    I skip the nuts because I'm allergic

    Just eliminate the maple syrup and the vinegar. Otherwise I love these.

    slice them.
    throw 'em in a skillet with a little olive oil on medium high.
    cook 4-5 minutes until they're getting browned.
    add in minced garlic - i use quite a bit!
    add some red pepper flakes.
    keep browning until some bits are charred and crispy and delicious.

    sometimes i pan fry them the same way but throw in cranberries and top with goat cheese.

    or cut them in half horizontally and drizzle some maple syrup on them and then roast them in the oven.

    YUMMM!!!!!!!!!!

    Mine is really simple and delicious. Per 2 servings of brussels sprouts I coat with 1 Tbsp good extra virgin olive oil...pop in 400 degree preheated oven for 15 minutes...done. S&P as desired.

    I boil them until tender crisp. Drain and cool. Then I toss them with a little low cal zesty italian dressing and serve them over a bed of lettuce and eat as a salad. Nice change from the usual.

    These recipes look wonderful!
    I usually just boil mine in a bit of chicken broth.

    I love the taste, but the SMELL of cooked Brussels sprouts is so strong that I rarely cook them. Anyone have an idea for lessening the whole-house aroma while cooking these wonderful veggies? Cracking the kitchen window and turning on the vent over the stove doesn't help much.
