I usually roast them with garlic, and some salt and pepper. Any other ideas?

    I steam them and drizzle fat free zesty italian dressing on them. Also toss them in a stir fry.

    is it sad that i just steam them and eat them like popcorn?

    I've heard of people making cream sauces for them but your usual way and my way are the only 2 I've found I like.

    I like roasted with olive oil and sea salt. Maybe a little cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.

    I saute halved Brussels Sprouts in a drizzle of olive oil, add a splash of lemon juice and some minced garlic halfway through, then a sprinkle of grated Parmesan at the very end.

    Sauteed in chicken both with garlic, maybe some curry powder and on special occasions with bacon or pancetta.

    Serves 6-8

    2 pounds Brussels sprouts
    1/3 cup toasted breadcrumbs (instructions below)
    1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan
    1.5 tablespoons lemon zest
    1 tablespoon finely ground black pepper
    1/2 teaspoon sea salt
    1 tablespoon olive oil

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees. To make breadcrumbs: Use the remains of an old baguette. Chop or break into pieces with a sharp knife. Process in the food processor until you have the texture of breadcrumb you desire. To toast them you can either use a toaster oven at 300 degrees until golden brown (this should only take a few minutes), or brown them in a pan. If using a pan, stir frequently so that they don’t burn. Rinse Brussels sprouts. Remove stems and slice each Brussels sprout in half lengthwise. Toss the Brussels sprouts in the olive oil. Arrange them so that the cut side faces down on a large baking sheet. Roast them until nicely browned at the edges and tender in the center, about 30-35 minutes. (This will vary depending on the size of the sprout and how brown you would like them.) While the brussels sprouts are browning, mix together the breadcrumbs, parmesan, salt and pepper with a fork. Add the lemon zest last – it may clump a little, so break it up with the fork if necessary. When the brussels sprouts are ready – tender, with a darker shade of green and nicely caramelized edges – transfer them to a glass bowl. Slowly sift the breadcrumb mixture in with the sprouts - it is possible that you may not use the entire mixture. Serve hot, and enjoy!

    I just steam or roast them and eat them.
    No sauce covering up their delicious flavor.


    At the holidays, I will saute them in brown butter and add roast chestnuts or any kind of nut.

    I steam them. Cook a salmon fillet and then smash the salmon through the Brussels Sprouts. Yum.

    I like to steam them until they are about half cooked, then fry them off in a little olive oil with some lean bacon.

    My absolute fave way (which I actually had with dinner tonight) is pan roasted with balsamic vinegar, a little olive oil and salt and white pepper. Amazing!

    Best way to prepare Brussel Sprouts (I call them "Little Cabbage *kitten*) is to throw them away and go get any other veggie to eat.

    Never could stand them (though I love nearly every other veggie).
