I made them earlier this week, Susan and I loved them! Some of the outer leaves fell off and turned into mini potato chips!

I made a great roasted brussels sprouts and cauliflower recipe earlier this week. Roasting is definitely the best way to cook brussels sprouts without overcooking them (I can't stand them overcooked!)

Here is a link that might be useful: Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Cauliflower with Orange

Those recipes both sound great.

Paula, do you think that the b sprouts and cauliflower with orange would reheat well after standing at room temperature for about 90 minutes. I have been asked to contribute a low carb veggie to serve 12 for Thanksgiving. This sounds perfect. I would probably double it.

Gazania,

I would think they would be fine but I can't say for sure. Sometimes cooked veggies go limp or get mushy after sitting but I didn't find that with these. I ate mine over the course of a few days and they still looked about as good on the last day as they did straight out of the oven - but I ate the leftovers cold!

Gazania, I don't know about Paula's recipe, but I read from a couple of sources that roasted Brussels sprouts reheat beautifully--if that helps!

Yuck to Brussels sprouts. Had them once as a child and never again..BUT since I love most veggies except lima beans maybe I should try this.

I love Brussels sprouts. Buy a full stalk, cut them off, heat in a frying pan with some bacon and bacon fat (I save my bacon drippings), fry till just brown. Delicious-I'm definitely making these for Thanksgiving. Only one problem-you really need to eat them the first day. They don't keep well in the fridge-like other broccolli type vegetables, they get stinky.

DD and I absolutely love brussels sprouts. DH hates "green balls". After I tasted roasted brussels sprouts, I was so absolutely positive that DH would change his mind about them if I fixed them that way. I was sadly mistaken, though. He said he could eat them if he HAD to, but since he didn't have to, that one time was enough to last him, LOL.

I'm not wild about Brussels sprouts but here is the recipe that is suppose to be from The Pioneer Woman ( Ree Drummond)

Roasted Brussels Sprouts serves 4

2 pounds Brussels Sprouts, Ends Trimmed And Halved
3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1 whole Lemon Zested
ý teaspoons Saltâ¢â teaspoons Black Pepper
1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
ý cups Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese

Preheat oven to 400F degrees.

Cut off the rough ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove the loose outer leaves. Cut the Brussels sprouts in half, lengthwise. Toss with olive oil.

On a baking sheet, evenly spread the Brussels sprouts making sure not to stack them and roast for 25 minutes.

When you remove them from the oven, season the Brussels sprouts with lemon zest, salt, pepper, lemon juice and Parmesan cheese.

I just finished making pan roasted, shredded Brussels sprouts in my electric skillet. I browned some diced bacon and onions and added the shredded sprouts and let them get toasty. I added a little salt and pepper and some chicken stock and finished it up. Oh, and I added some fresh from the garden lemon thyme.
It is going in the freezer to have for Thanksgiving.
I made up a bunch a couple of nights ago and we devoured it.

Lily, when I was a kid, I would gag just looking at Brussells sprouts. Do try them again--roasted or saute them in butter and then sprinkle with Parmesan. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Never would've thunk it!

Hubs and I really like Brussel Sprouts, but we can't get fresh ones here. I wonder if frozen ones would work?

I never had or heard of brussel sprouts growing up AND my father owned the local grocery store.

i love brussell sprout I heard they were good roasted.

Are you sure you can't get fresh ones, Dotmom? They don't usually appear in supermarkets year round, but this is their season. We used to grow our own, but I find store-bought ones are very good. A few stores sell them still attached to the stalk, but most stores sell individual ones by the pound.

I don't think roasted frozen Brussels sprouts would be very good--too soggy. But perhaps someone has tried it and can correct me.

PS: Don't forget the S. This vegetable is from Brussels, Belgium. No wonder I like them......I have Belgian ancestors!

I didn't realize it is BrusselS sprouts. Thanks for that!
I just bought some yesterday & (now) plan to roast them. Had never heard of this way to prepare them. I have roasted broccoli & it is delish!

Now I have drool all over my shirt and desk and I have to go to the grocery for Brussels sprouts. Lots of Brussels sprouts, because you just can't have them too often. It won't be a brain strain to decide which recipe to use I'll try them all over the next few days.

LIL

Alisande - I don't like brussel sprouts much, but I did want to say that it's good to see you didn't have a problem with your craigs list guy! :)

I made them tonight and they were ok, DH didn't want them again.

Sorry, Joann!

LOL, Moonie. Yeah, I'm happy about that, too.

Well, I forgot the S, but I'd like to hear you say that 5 times really fast, Alisande! LOL

although i said i don't like them, i've never had them :)

although i said i don't like them, i've never had them :)

Oh, Moonie!! I never let my kids get away with that, so I'm here with a ruler to rap your knuckles.

No, wait--I never rapped my kids' knuckles. But I never let them say they didn't like something if they'd never tasted it. So what I have to say to you, Missy, is......

Buy fresh BrusselsSproutsBrusselsSproutsBrusselsSproutsBrusselsSproutsBrusselsSprouts (see? I did it!), and be careful not to overcook them. (Try cutting them in half so they cook more evenly.)

Please don't rap my knuckles! My hands are sore already. LOL

Is it true they taste like cabbage? Because I looove cabbage but I don't like the smell of Brussels Sprouts. They are really cute, though, especially when still on the plant. :)

I might roast some for the rest of the family and then I can at least try a nibble.

The taste is certainly similar to cabbage. I think the bad smell comes when they're overcooked. Although I have to admit my fridge (containing the roasted sprouts) doesn't smell all that great right now.

Do you do any stir-frying? Save some sprouts to try this way: Cut them in quarters or slices (about three per sprout) and add them to stir-fried onions, garlic, and whatever else you like. Sprinkle with tamari (Kikkoman) soy sauce. Cook until just tender. No bad smell!

At one time we ate a lot of stir-fry, but since I began cooking for my mother last year, she is unable to eat many of the things we like. Come to think of it, brussels sprouts may not sit well with her either. We may be finding out soon.

I'll let you know if they become my favorite dish!
