I just picked some yesterday from my garden. I happen to love them and DH & DS will tolerate them. I just like them steamed with a little butter and salt & pepper.

I love brussel sprouts, but no one else in my family does, so I don't fix them very often. I've never had them fresh, but used to buy them frozen, put in pan with a little water, salt & pepper and bring to a boil, then turn the heat down, put the lid on and simmer until they are as done as you like them. I like them with still some texture and not mushy.

Love them and like them a little mushy. I buy frozen and I prefer cooking them in with whatever meat dish if I'm boiling, baking, or roasting something. That way they absorb the flavor. My daughter and I fight over them.

They're my favorite vegetable of all. I like them so much, that I just boil them until done, and then add a tiny bit of butter and some salt. Not really into adding a lot of other ingredients to them. Oddly, Brussels Sprouts are the one vegetable I don't mind eating over-cooked (mushy).

Everyone in my house loves them. I buy the frozen ones and add just a little water and nuke them. Then we put butter salt and pepper on them. Our grandson eats them without anything on them.

I like brussel sprouts and wanted to do some for Christmas. It was a recipe for roasting them, or something like that. I can't find that recipe and wondered if someone here had posted it at one time. If some one did, would you mind posting it again or maybe one of you has the recipe, please?

Love 'em. This time of year I buy fresh, but in late spring and throughout the summer, I buy frozen.

Fresh, I usually toss with olive oil S&P and roast. Frozen, I steam and serve with a sprinkling of parmesan and/or butter. But roasted is my favorite.

Kathy_tx, here we can get them not only fresh, but still on the stalk.

Yep, love em. Always fresh, Steamed so they still have a bit of "bite" to them. Served with browned butter and seasoned bread crumbs sprinkled on top. NancyLouise

Love them! I have them growing in my garden right now but they are not ready. I've never had them frozen - always fresh. I like them steamed or roasted. We usually just have them with a little butter and salt & pepper but occasionally I like to brown some bacon, crumble it, sautee onion in the bacon grease, add some pine nuts and reduce that all with a little wine and then pour over the sprouts. Yummy!!!!

One of my favourites. Steamed, with a little butter and salt. Yummie.

I love brussel sprouts. I prefer fresh but will eat frozen.
We try to buy them still on the stalk. They last longer and are the best.
We steam them. Sour cream goes good with them.

I also LOVE Brussel Sprouts. I will eat them anyway you want to fix them but one of my favorite ways is an Emeril recipie from Food Network. It has shallots, butter, walnuts and lemon juice with Parm cheese. We make it every Thanksgiving and it's always a big hit.

Love, love, love Brussel sprouts...

I usually buy frozen. Am I the only one who likes them with a little vinegar on them?

I gotta tell you it's Brussels, with an S. They're originally from Belgium.

I love them! I used to grow them, and now buy them fresh. My best advice is not to overcook them. I steam them, and also love them stir-fried. I'm told they're wonderful roasted, and I plan to try that soon.

Years ago I was taught to cut an X in the base to help them cook throughout all at once. But these days I just cut them in half. Much easier.

Fresh ones look awful here in the produce section. I buy frozen. Saute them with a bit of garlic, season with salt and pepper, and add some broth to simmer till "just right". :)

Love them, and I am lucky enough not to have to share with anyone in my family. ;)

Moni

They're OK pickled, but otherwise, I really don't care for them.

I'm the only one who eats brussel sprouts. I have only had them frozen with salt and pepper. I haven't met a veggie I didn't like. I could easily go Vegan, but I can't do without dairy.

I love to saute them with a little garlic and then toss in a little orange and lemon juice.

I rarely come across fresh ones that look to be in good condition. I buy the frozen ones with cheese or butter sauce. My kids love them.

Fresh. The frozen ones I tried once were mushy.
We just steam in the mcrowave and then top them with a little lemon juice.
The winter is generally too short/warm here to grow them, but most years I try at least one plant.

I prefer fresh. I find the frozen ones to be mushy and more bitter.

I always hated those things, then I tried them roasted. When you roast them, they look horrible! But they taste SO good. Crispy and black on the outside, creamy on the inside. To die for!

I toss with salt and pepper, olive oil and a bit of melted butter, then roast until they are dark outside and tender in the middle. Sometimes I boil them a bit first or cut them in half to reduce the roasting time. Temperature is 400-425 degrees.

I love Brussels Sprouts and craved them when I was pregnant with DD. Had to have a daily dose of them until DH finally asked if we could please have something besides Brussels Sprouts for a change. LOL!! I guess I did kinda get carried away with them.

I take off all the outer leaves that don't look good, quarter them and sautee in butter or margarine. When they are nearly done I add a little bit of White Wine Worcestershire sauce and some salt & pepper. Quick, easy and yummy.

This is our family favorite!
Glazed Brussel Sprouts
saute 1 cup pecan halves with 1/4 tsp chili powder with 3 Tbl butter in large skillet for 1 minute

Add 2 pkgs cooked drained, halves brusssel sprouts to 1/4 cup maple syrup 2 tsp cider vinegar, 1/2 tsp salt. Cook one minute.
Stir in pecans when ready to serve!

I roast them like dances. Our favorite way is to have an assortment of roasted vegetables combined, such as brussels sprouts, carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes and/or yams. Toss with olive oil, kosher salt and herbs de provence, roast at 400 degrees for about 35-40 minutes. Heaven!

Love them! Fixed them last night with corned beef. When the corned beef was done I pulled it out of the pot and cooked the sprouts in the juice. Yummy. Of course, I still had to cook cabbage because DH hates "green balls".

I usually just cook them in a couple of inches of salted water, after giving the stem end a little cross cut so they cook before the rest of the sprout turns mushy.

I also love to slice them thinly and saute them in a bit of butter, salt and pepper. Yummy.

WOW! Lots of brussel sprout lovers at the KT!! Thanks for all the ideas. I am going to try some tonite.

MrsMarv - the other day I posted that my son gave me about 40 spices for Christmas, many of them that I have never used before. Herbs de Provence was one of the spices so I was glad to see in your reply a use for that!

I love them most any way but I really liked this recipe that called for shredding them. They're so cute, it's almost a shame to shred them but it's so good.

We love them. I buy frozen, and cook just until slightly tender--but not mushy. We like them with vinegar on them.

Next time I go to the store brussels sprouts will go in my buggy. There are some good ways in this thread to roast them and I'll try several.

We love them, too, and I usually steam them, then toss with some butter, salt and pepper. For those of you that roast them, do you cover them while roasting?

Gmom74, I saw a great brussels sprouts recipe in a Martha Stewart magazine a few years ago, they looked fabulous and I'm not a huge fan of them. You might check on her website.

Halved, pan-fried in a little olive oil, yum! (As long as they aren't too bitter, sometimes they are.)

Have you ever seen them fresh on the stalk at your produce section? They're funny looking like that, who knew they grew on a stalk?

I love 'em too! And overcooked, slightly mushy is just fine with me! YUM!!

I'm the only one in the house who likes them....the rest can't even tolerate the smell! But I do love them and will have them for lunch when DH is gone to work. :O) The only way I've ever had them is steam microwaved with butter and parmesan cheese...yummy!

Another Brussels sprout lover. I get fresh ones and trim them, halve the bigger ones and saute in a little olive oil and a little butter. They get brown and crispy. When done, I sprinkle grated Parmesan on top and let it melt. It's sort of a staple on low carb diets.

Shea, no I don't cover them. I put them on a jelly roll sheet (rimmed cookie sheet); toss the sprouts in olive oil, salt & pepper and roast on relatively high heat 400-425 in the middle of the oven, for about 20-30 minutes (depends on sprout size). The outer leaves will blacken a bit, but it's all good. And by good, I mean GOOD!

Here, Gmom74-

Also, if you google "Martha Stewart Brussels Sprouts recipe" you'll find another for one with onions, it looks wonderful.

I love them all the ways mentioned, but my fave is boiled,
drained, halved, and sprinkled with soy souce. Yum! You gotta try it with soy!

Trin

Thanks, Cindy, I'll give that a try. Can't wait!

All these ideas and recipes sound great. I'll try the soy sauce too, Trin. Why didn't I think of that?

I am impressed!!! So many Brussels Sprouts lovers,,,I love em too, but most people I know turn their nose up at them.I also like cabbage brocolli and cauliflower,,,

I was going to get some today at the market because the post made me hungry for them.
BUT......they were $3.59/lb and we don't like them that much!
Will check at the next farmer's market.....there are always really good fresh vegetables.

I never had a brussel sprout until 2 years ago. Now I make them often. I buy only the fresh ones, never tried the frozen.My favorite way is to roast them, and sprinkle with parmesan cheese salt and pepper. Heavenly!!!
