Many moons ago, before I had 12 different cooking appliances and the internet, I made brussels sprouts for dh and I. He is the least picky person I have ever known, but after having them he said-in the nicest way possible-that I don't have to ever try making those again. We've been talking about having a bigger variety of veggies and dd wants to try brussels sprouts. You just can't say no when your kid asks for vegetables.
Now that I have a ninja cooker, pressure cooker, and air fryer, along with my regular stove and oven, surely I can do better. Please tell me what amazing recipe you have for them. Please.

I just cut them in half and then sauté them with bacon pieces. Nothing fancy but the only way we eat them.

I’m a weirdo who prefers them steamed. I think they are a vegetable one either likes or doesn’t, no matter how they are prepared.

I cut them in half and then cut out most of the core. I find that part can be tough like lower broccoli stems . I sauté or steam.

I just cut them in half and then sauté them with bacon pieces. Nothing fancy but the only way we eat them. Pretty much this. Simmer sprouts for a few minutes in water till just cooked then fry in butter till a nice bit of charring to the sides - just brown not dark - grill bacon till crispy, add to the sprouts with some of the fat that came out of it and add halved chestnuts to warm through. Absolutely delicious. Roast sprouts in oven then place in a clean dish, add little squares of Parma ham, dot top of sprouts with creme fraiche and cover with a thin layer of grated Parmesan cheese. Back in the oven to warm up and melt the cheese. A variation of asparagus with Parma ham.

I can't be bothered to do the bacon/saute thing very often (as lovely as it is!) so I usually just steam or roast them. I like to roast them halved with some olive oil, salt and pepper, optional chilli flakes then when they're starting to colour add a little Parmesan and continue roasting until they're tender and the cheese is golden

The sesame version of this recipe was recommended by a Pea and dd and I really enjoyed them! Always use caution when cooking with sesame oil, it’s a very strong flavor. Other oils I may not always measure but I always measure sesame oil.

Now that I have a ninja cooker, pressure cooker, and air fryer, along with my regular stove and oven, surely I can do better. Please tell me what amazing recipe you have for them. Please. This is one of the few salads I like. My whole family likes it: www.onceuponachef.com/recipes/shaved-brussels-sprouts-salad-parmesan-walnuts-lemon-mustard-dressing.htmlI like them roasted in the oven. Just cut in half, sprinkle with a little olive oil and salt then cook till they start to get a bit browned (20-30 minutes at 350) cook a few slices of bacon and then saute quartered sprouts in the bacon drippings. Or use other oils like butter or olive oil. Just cook until softened and they get a small bit of char on some of them. For a meal I"ll plate them then top with an over easy fried egg. The other day I boiled a pound boneless/skinless chicken thighs, diced them, skimmed the cooking broth and returned the chicken to the broth, added a pound of rough chopped brussels, and a small can of green enchilada sauce. Cook until the brussels were tender, add a few ounces of cream cheese and ended up with a concoction that was great folded in a tortilla or just eaten from a bowl.

ONLY fresh Brussels sprouts. Frozen always seem bitter to us. Remove outer leaves. Cut in half. Toss in EVOO, salt and pepper. Place on sheet pan Roast @ 425-450 for about 25 minutes. Add balsamic vinegar and roast another 5 minutes or until desired tenderness. Bonus if you want to simmer balsamic in a pan with a touch of sugar to reduce and form a delicious glaze. Would just add that right before serving. During the holidays, I make this Brussels sprouts with balsamic glaze and cranberries . So good! ETA: Woooooo, this is my 1,000th post!

We love them sliced and sautéed in olive oil with some onions, fresh garlic, salt , pepper and creole seasoning. My teen even cooks them herself a lot for lunch when she’s home alone.

I think they are disgusting if they are over cooked. So how ever you cook them. Make sure there is still a bite to them.

My kids think all veggies should be roasted over steamed. We tend to fix simple like gsquaredmom. If oven roadted isn’t an option, their 2nd favorite way is sauted/pan fried with a bit of pancetta or bacon in a small bit of bacon fat and olive oil. Seasoned to taste. I’m not crazy about steamed but otherwise I haven’t found a recipe i didn’t enjoy. I’d probably try a recipe with things dh like it it where sprouts play along side. Then move to a recipe where they’re more predominant. Then to oven roasted. Hope you can add these yummies into your veggie rotation.

Cut in 1/2, sauté in a pan with lots of garlic. Once they are carmelized, add a little chicken broth, let steam off and continue to cook until the edges are crispy.

I just cut them in half and then sauté them with bacon pieces. Nothing fancy but the only way we eat them. this is what I do too. I never liked them either until I started making them with bacon. I won't eat them steamed or roasted. Like someone else said only FRESH brussels sprouts, never frozen. Cut off the ends of the sprouts & half them. Cut the bacon into small pieces & fry until slightly rendered. Then add the brussels sprouts and fry with the bacon until the bacon is crispy & the sprouts are cooked but still slightly crunchy. Sometimes I need to add a bit of butter if there isn't a lot of bacon grease.

Olive oil Crushed sea salt Fresh ground pepper Roast in the oven until lightly browned Takes away the bitterness and carmelizes the sugars. Even haters love them This this this!!! Yummmmmmm. I toss them in the olive oil to coat. I like them roasted really dark; DH prefers them just barely beginning to brown at the tips. DD sprinkles Parmesan on hers.

Dh and I love Brussels sprouts.
One of our favorite ways, that I don't see listed yet, is to shred them and saute them with some prosciutto, when nearly done, throw in a couple of tablespoons of capers. Seriously yummy.

We love them just halved and roasted in the oven with oil, s&p. BUT, THIS recipe is to die for. It's a fancy appetizer, perfect for holidays or guests or just yourself.

Roasted.
Trim, remove outer leaves and cut in half.
Toss with olive oil, kosher salt and pepper.
Roast at 425, tossing half-way through. Time varies based on the size. I roast for about 10-15 minutes. Open the over and toss them around a bit, check them and then decide how much longer they need. With all the tossing, some leaves will fall off and start to get brown and crispy...yum, those will taste like a potato chip.

Wow, some great recipes here! I am addicted to brussels sprouts. LOL I eat them several times a week, but I usually just steam or roast them in the oven. My favorite way is to roast them with a little olive oil and salt and pepper. And the little leaves that get crispy...YUM. I eat those as soon as they come out of the oven.
I also shred them, saute with turkey sausage, and add them to scrambled eggs.
One of my favorite restaurants cooks them with maple bacon and sweet onion, then drizzles them with maple syrup. OMG. They are soooo good!
I grew up with frozen ones, and I liked them well enough. A co-worker turned me onto fresh brussels sprouts, and once in a pinch, I bought a bag of frozen, and I had to throw them away. There is no comparison.
Now I want brussels sprouts!

Covering them in cheese is the only way I will try to enjoy them. If only my parents had tried that when I was growing up...

I go to the deli at Sprouts and buy the roasted brussels sprouts they sell there.
Sorry I can't be more help...

Ok, so now I am eating the brussels sprouts I bought at Sprouts yesterday; eating them right out of the container with my fingers.
Yum-O!
