Olive Oil, Balsamic Vinegar, Salt and Pepper. Roast at 425 for 20-30 minutes until they start to caramelize.

Funny I see this thread. I've been braggin to my peeps about my recent Brussels Sprouts triumph on the grill.. and I'm no master of the grill.

Anyway, I used this recipe from AB but skipped some of the seasoning. Just olive oil, garlic salt and pepper. You definitely have to nuke them first to soften them up.

They were like good-for-you candy.

THe best I've had were at a restaurant called Redstone Grill (Probably the best chain restaurant that I've been to)

redstone american grill

anywho... I'm not sure exactly how they did them, but they rendered bacon and carmelized them in the fat, and at some point honey gets involved. Really awesome and no bitterness remained at all.

Roasting or steaming can be good. And you don't have to add a lot of sugar or other sweetener (or any for my taste).

Pretend they are baby cabbages. Boil with bacon. Discard.

Gonna try this tonight. I've been looking for an excuse to try them again. I think we are going all veggie tonight with roasted cauliflower, fried corn, grilled brussels sprouts, and homemade mashed potatoes.

olive oil, SYM, balsamic vinegar, Cajun Power garlic sauce, L&P sauce, chopped garlic, sliced onion, all in a plastic bag in the fridge for 12 hours, then drain and grill. Cut the sprouts in half before marinating and remove loose outer leaves and the dried ot stem bottom.

Get reservations at Coquette. Order the brussels sprouts. Thank me later.

Seriously, they quarter them and roast until slightly charred and then ladle this delicious sweet sauce over them that is incredible.

Offer them $$$ for the recipe.

I know... bacon wrapped in anything is good, but the mustard sauce with this recipe is excellent:

ive only tried brussel sprouts and liked them once. dont know the recipe, but it ws at flip burger and it was sauteed had some bacon and balsamic, and i decided that day that i didnt have to ever try them again. there is no point to eating a vegatable for the nutritional value if i have to cover it in fat, salt, and sugar in order to choke it down.

I normally roast them in the oven with some olive oil, S&P. Tonight, I cooked them on the stove in a cast iron skillet, with a generous amount of bacon fat on medium low heat for about 20 minutes, added some kosher salt and sliced shallots, and cooked for about another 10 minutes on low. Out of this world!

I love Brussel Sprouts!

I roast them with cauliflower.

Peel off some outer leaves, cut in half.
Cut up come cauliflower.
Toss them with olive oil, sea salt, pepper, rosemary.
Add some garlic.
Add some panko bread crumbs and some parmesan cheese too (I don't always to this step)
Broil until they get good and golden brown. Sometimes I let me get a little crispier too.

I make this often and I love it.
