    Yes, love them this way!
    Olive oil, salt, pepper and put them in the oven on 400 for about 15 to 20 minutes. You need to shake the pan every few minutes. They will start to look a little burnt but that's how you want them. Gives them a WAY better taste and the little "chips" that fall off are delicious!

    Cut sprouts in half (or buy them that way...).

    Toss in a large bowl with olive oil, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (to taste, but salt and pepper are very important base spices!).
    Roast at 400 for about 15 minutes, or until you can really start to smell them. We like them with crispy outer leaves, so this is somewhat subjective.
    Toss back into the bowl with honey and red wine vinegar.

    Sweet, tangy, with that hint of heat from the red pepper flakes. This will improve with some sitting before dinner, but they aren't AS good the next day.

    Love them roasted with olive oil, salt, and pepper until crisp. Sometimes I'll toss them with a bit of balsamic when they come out, gives them a nice sweet, tangy, and salty flavor.

    Alton Brown did a Good Eats show about Brussels Sprouts a few years back, and he had some interesting sounding recipes. Here's the episode link: http://www.foodnetwork.com/shows/good-eats/12-series/a-cabbage-sprouts-in-brussels.html

    Roasted. Sauteed. They also make a great slaw. Whatever you do, don't boil them into a stinky, sodden mess.

    Here's a recipe from my hobby cooking blog using them in a meal: http://heidicookssupper.com/blog/2010/04/22/quick-easy-meat-potatoes-meal/

    Yes please!

    Roasted in oven with garlic and OO (the fresh ones).
    Placed in any stew or thick soup (the frozen ones.)

    My favorite Brussels sprouts recipe is one I enjoy at Xmas time only.

    4 cups of smallish Brussel sprouts
    1 and 1/2 cups heavy cream
    1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated
    salt
    pepper
    nutmeg

    Put sprouts in a well buttered glass 9x9 dish.
    Mix cream/cheese/salt/pepper together and pour over top.
    Sprinkle nutmeg on top.

    Cover with foil and bake 300 degrees for one hour. Uncover and bake 15 more minutes.
    Makes 8 servings (4 in my family, lol)

    So delicious, and so fattening.

    I think Im one of the 3 people on earth that actually like brussel sprouts. I have to cook them before my wife gets home though, she hates the smell. :)
