It has been well documented that I am a crap cook,
But I am aiming for “wife of the day,” so I figured I would try to make dinner tonight.
I am thinking brussels sprouts could be good as a side.
So folks, who has a recipe for healthy & tasty brussels sprouts that is easy enough for me to pull off?
This seems like something you guys will totally have an answer for….

I slice mine and roast them in the oven with salt and pepper and the sprinkle on some parmesean cheese before serving. Delicious!

Clean them, cut them in half long-ways and put them in a single layer on a cookie sheet (with sides is best, unless you’re really coordinated and can flip them without them landing all over your oven). Drizzle with olive oil (a couple tablespoons, max - not too greasy, but…

I usually just cut them in half, toss them in olive oil and salt and pepper, and cook them in a skillet over med high heat. On super special days, I add some pancetta too.

Chop up bacon/turkey bacon and apples along with the halved Brussels sprouts, drizzle olive oil, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. I like a little Thyme too. 375 degrees for 30+ minutes = perfection.

Roast them. Just coat with oil, salt and pepper, and roast at 375F(ish) for 30 minutes. Honestly, SO delicious!

brussels cut in half in a roasting pan, a little olive oil, some garlic salt and peppe — then sprinkle with pine nuts and drizzle with maple syrup. bake at 400 for about a half hour or until they start to brown (best part!) stir occassionally! yum!

Olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast in the oven until the leaves on the outside are crispy. So delicious!! Bon Appetit’s November issue had a recipe that added bacon and a little dill pickle juice- sounds weird but it was AMAZING!!

my brussel sprouts typically involve pancetta which I think negates the healthfulness of them. but it’s very tasty.

i love just peeling the top layer, cutting in half, drizzle with olive oil and sea salt and roasting in the oven. or you can use a mandolin and make a shaved brussels sprouts salad

All you need to bring out the (super superb) flavor in Brussels sprouts is a splash of olive oil and a few hearty splashes of balsamic vinegar. Bake for 25-35 minutes, bam. Done. SO GOOD, and healthy to boot!
freckledog said:
Any of the recipes already posted will be delicious. But what you must, MUST do is make sure they are roasted long enough to be fully crispy! They should be nice and dark all over. It’s all about texture and mush is a no-go for the brussies!

i always buy the shredded sprouts from trader joes, saute them til they are just getting brown (with butter, s&p) and add a small amount of honey at the end to counter the bitterness!

Easiest thing to do—slice and put on a baking sheet with olive oil, garlic, sea salt and roast in oven for about 20 minutes. Crispy, tasty goodness. Add cheese for extra greatness.
