Brussel sprouts

[just4today]

I love those packets of Green Giant brussels sprouts in butter sauce.

Cut them in half, toss with olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast in a hot oven until tender.

Cover with olive oil and tons of sea salt. Bake at 400* for about 30 minutes shaking every 7 minutes or so. Best if they blacken some. Look horrible but taste delicious - had them last night

YUM!

Me too! I love separating out some of the leaves and letting them get crispy/burnt. They are wonder that way.

The only other thing I love eating burnt is roasted marshmallows. Yum!


In addition to salt and pepper on the brussel sprouts, you can also add garlic or chili powder for a different kick.

I cut them in half, trim, par boil them, then pan fry in butter till parts are crispy and brown. Very tasty

With bread crumbs.

For me, simple is fine...I just boil 'em.

DS likes them like that, too.

But hubby is still a bit toddler-ish about them, and I think I'll be saute'ing them with butter and garlic in the future.


What's up with the cutting a cross at the bottom? What does that do for them?
