A lot of people I know gush about how great baked brussel sprouts are. I've never even TRIED a brussel sprout, but I felt adventurous tonight in the produce section and picked up a few.

If your a brussel sprouts fan, how do you like them? Share your flavor combos with me, please! :)

    I like them best roasted.
    Wash and peel any nasty leaves away....
    cut in half or quarters (depending on size)...
    Put in bowl with a little Olive Oil, salt and pepper, onion and garlic powder.
    Roast in oven until caramelized (approx 400 for 20min).....flip them half way through...

    Then mix with anything!

    I love them with sundried tomatoes, feta cheese, quinoa, kidney beans, sauteed onions and garlic...
    or with sweet potatoes and kidney beans, feta cheese and sunflower seeds...

    YUMMY stuff :)

    I eat them with melted butter but I like them real soft not crisp, and my wife likes them in the trash can.

    If you want to be fancy, you can do balsamic, pecans, and/or of course, bacon.

    But for super easy, go with what tnqnt wrote: olive oil, salt + pepper, 20 min at 400 degrees oven.

    I could eat pounds of them in one sitting.

    I like them simply steamed. I tried roasting them once with the olive oil as above and thought they were too dry. Don't know if there is a trick to cooking them that way, but I didn't like them.

    I remove outside leaves, then cut in half. I either cook up with bacon and some chicken broth or just chicken broth.

    I don't like sprouts but I have found the sprouts at Wegmans are much nicer and much milder than sprouts I get anywhere else.

    I roast mine just like the above recipe, however I wrap them in tin foil and don't flip them. Keeps them moist!

    I like them any way. As long as they are FRESH brussel sprouts. The frozen ones are NASTY!

    I don't!! When I was little I used to try to feed my to the dog, funny thing was the dog didn't like them either.

    I had to use my napkin, excuse myself to the restroom and flush them down the toilet.

    Thinly shaved then sauteed with some shallots, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, a little white wine and finished with a little butter.

    i've always detested them *LOL*
    But since hubby likes them i have tried to find ways to eat them..and only way i can handle them at all is roasted, sprinkled with olive oil, salt, red pepper flakes.

    Cannot say i 'like' them but at least i can handle eating them that way.

    I love the roasted idea.
    I usually just steam until tender, add a touch of butter, salt, and garlic powder:)
