    Butter ?

    I don't like them much when they are boiled/steamed.. I like to cut them in half and put them on a baking sheet in the oven. Maybe sptriz with a little pam. They get nice and crispy.

    I slice them in half, drizzle them with olive oil and lots of garlic. I brown them in the frying pan. My kids even love them!

    You can bake them in the oven with a little olive oil, kosher salt, and cracked peppercorns. I sometimes like garlic as well with them.

    Slice in half or grate them. Place on a baking sheet and drizzle with a little evoo...maybe some salt and granulated garlic and black pepper. Roast at 385 till your desired liking. I like mine where the thin outsides are crispy yet the insides are a bit tender.

    I prefer mine roasted in the oven with some olive oil. I think of them as a fall/winter food and don't usually eat them in the spring or summer.

    Oh, Brussel Sprouts! I HATED them, until i had them oven-roasted; now they are my favorite vegetable. Ideally a little bacon grease and roast them on a sheet pan, but also olive oil is tasty. Slice them in half and roast them flat side down in a 400 degree oven, til they are browned and crispy on the bottom. I like to eat them plain, but a sprinkling of pine nuts, parmesan cheese, lemon juice, even siracha are all wonderful on them.

    Sauteed with olive oil and garlic. :happy: That is the way my family has always made them! NEVER boiled!

    Cut the base of the brussel sprout so the leaves falls off, keep doing this until you have no more base to cut off.
    Put all the cut leaves into a bowl or bag, add a tbsp of extra virgin olive oil, and whatever seasoning you like, and mix.
    Preheat oven to 350 and place contents, single layer, onto baking sheet. Bake for 10-20 minutes.

    Brussel Sprouts come out crunchy, and is a great substitute for chips!! I can't remember where I got the recipe from, but loved them the first time I tried them!

    I agree they aren't really a spring/ summer food but my boyfriend bought them and I am not going to let them go to waste.

    This! Brussels sprouts are my favorite vegetable and this is why. A little squeeze of lemon juice or balsamic can really brighten them up, too! I personally prefer to shove 'em in a casserole dish and roast them, though - they get to the absolute perfect texture, perfect mouthfeel, so ****ing good.

    we put ours on kebabs and grill them after soaking them in a marinade for a couple hours (cooking them in microwave for about two minutes with a tad of water helps make them go through the skewers later much easier). They sit on the grill for about 10-15 minutes turning once in a while or can be put in the over as well similarly.

    4 tbsp. olive oil
    1 tsp garlic powder
    2 tsp. dry mustard
    1/2 tsp. onion powder
    1 tsp. paprika
    1 tsp. salt
    1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

    is the marinade we use and it's wonderful, the kids eat them up so much that most of the time we have to double the recipe for leftovers.

    If you roasted them in the oven with seasonings (garlic, salt, pepper, olive oil) it changes the taste of them. My niece who "hated" them, called me after she has some I made and wanted to know how to cook them.

    Give it a try!
