    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!

    I got this recipe from Wegmans. And I love it. I wasn't a brussel sprout lover and this recipe makes them yummy!

    1/4 cup Food You Feel Good About Peeled Shallots, chopped
    1 pkg (14 oz) Food You Feel Good About Shaved Brussels Sprouts
    1/4 cup Wegmans Basting Oil
    Salt and pepper to taste
    2 Tbsp Wegmans Apple Vinegar Spritzer

    INSTRUCTIONS

    Add olive oil and pancetta to large skillet; cook on MEDIUM about 5 min, until pancetta begins to render fat but is not browned.
    Add shallots, Brussels sprouts, and basting oil. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, on MEDIUM, 8-10 min, until vegetables are nearly softened but not browned. Remove from heat.
    Add apple vinegar spritzer and toss.

    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.

    I do like them. I just need different ways to eat them or I get bored.

    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!

    I usually make them a couple ways. Both recipes calls for them to be halved, drizzled in olive oil, sprinkled with a little salt and pepper, and some chopped garlic.

    Roasted - Take the above, spread on a cookie sheet and roast in the oven on 375 tossing every 10 minutes until golden brown.

    Tin Foil Packet - Take the above and add some diced pancetta, put in the oven on 350 for 25-35 minutes.

    I've been meaning to make them other ways, too, but these two recipes are so YUMMY.

    The only way our family will touch these..... Allrecipes.com


    1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts
    1 tablespoons butter
    1 onion, finely chopped
    1/4 cup all-purpose flour
    1/2 cup water
    salt and pepper to taste
    2 slices bacon, diced finely
    2 tablespoons brown sugar
    2 tablespoons vinegar
    Check All Add to Shopping List
    Directions

    Place Brussels sprouts in a saucepan with enough lightly salted water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook 7 to 10 minutes, or until just tender; drain.
    In a separate saucepan large enough to hold the Brussels Sprouts, melt the butter and cook bacon and the onion until browned. Remove saucepan from heat, and stir in the flour until smooth. Return saucepan to low heat, and continue stirring until flour is lightly browned. Gradually blend in the water. Season with salt, pepper. Stir in the brown sugar and vinegar. Place the cooked Brussels sprouts in the mixture, and allow to simmer 5 minutes before serving.

    I was going to suggest just replacing them with asparagus, but then I saw a recipe involving bacon! I swore off brussel sprouts at birth - but am now curious if bacon might be the answer!!

    We got my dad to eat them by lightly frying them in olive oil just until they're brown and tender. It's the only way he'll eat them.

    I prepare Brussels Sprouts very similarly except I normally roast them in the oven simply because I would rather wander off while they are cooking. I think they taste sweet and nutty. Adding onions makes them even sweeter.

    I like most veggies, but can't stand Brussels sprouts. I even ordered them at Longhorn Steakhouse, because they add lots of bacon and butter and other assorted things that should make the most horrid veggie edible, to no avail. It still sucked. Good luck in your search for edible Brussels sprouts. If you stumble upon some hitherto unknown recipe, please shoot me a PM.
