Brussel sprouts

They're super yummy in coleslaw too instead of cabbage. Trim and shred 1/2 pound, mix with 2 TBS mayo, 1/2 tsp sugar, handful of shaved baby carrots and 1/2 TBS balsamic vinegar with black pepper to taste.
We had 18 plants in our garden last year. My teenage daughter liked to trim the leaves, spray with cooking oil and lightly salt and bake at 400 for about 8 minutes. They were as good as any potato chips0 -

I like most vegetables I've tried, but I have never tried Brussel sprouts. I have no idea how to cook them or what I should add to them to healthfully enhance their flavor. Help please!
These are my favorite veggies!!!
I love to roast them in the oven with just a LITTLE olive oil, sprinkled with garlic/salt/pepper OR rosemary/lemon OR italian seasoning/Parmesan cheese0 -
Cut in half, wrap in tin foil, douse with a little olive oil and Montreal steak seasoning, close up the tin foil roast in the oven at 375 for 20 minutes!!0

Roasted with nothing but a little salt is so delicious. Why add calories by gilding the lily with bacon or other fats? An alternate preparation as a change of pace is to buy some baby brussel sprouts - they sell them here in a little netting package - and then put in a pot with some low fat chicken stock. Imparts a nice flavor as well.0

So this was good, but I have to agree with the crowd consensus. Roasting is better because you get the crispy texture.0 -
Everyone loves the roasted Brussels. Here here!! I like to roast them and then toss them in a stir fry. I also like to add them to sauerkraut or sauté them with carrots and onions until slightly caramelized.0

Paula Deen says she roasts them for a short time. Then she puts them in a skillet to get them crunchy. She uses olive oil and a little butter. I think she said she peppers them too. I don't remember exactly, but you could probably find it online if you were interested. I plan to try it soon.0

Yum. I cook these in a pan on the stove. Put a little water, turn the heat up and cover the pan. Let it simmer for about 5-7 min. Then Drain. Then I spray pam on it, add onions and garlic. Sauté until they are some what charred. That's the best way I like them!0

I'm doing the same thing as everyone else. Roasting with some diced bacon at 400 for about 30 minutes. When they come out of the oven I'll toss them with a little balsamic.
When I steam them I like to add a little apple cider vinegar to water. Gives it a nice acidy flavor.0 -
I microwave them in a covered dish first, for up to about 5 minutes, then roast them in bacon fat and bacon bits, with salt and pepper to taste. It's even better if you add some radicchio, and even better with radicchio and roasted chestnuts. The very best is to use olive oil instead of bacon fat, and prosciutto instead of bacon, and add the radicchio and chestnuts.0

Since my 8 year old loves them (where she wants them daily) I'm sure you would too! Especially just simply roasted with olive oil, s & p and raw chopped bacon on top.0
