Only way I've cooked them is similar to the recipe book version: sautee with a shallot ( I add garlic) until tender basically. Any other ideas to spuce up these things. Msksayetiger loves them and I want to do something a little different.

i like to cut them in half, toss with olive oil/salt/pepper, and roast in the oven.

I usually do this with a little garlic and sometimes toss them in a spicy peanut sauce after roasting.

i like to toss them in the garbage and eat a different veggie that won't give me the noxious gas of the 7th level of hell.

This.

Render off some bacon in cast iron skillet. Remove bacon and put halved brussel sprouts in with garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper. Add cooked bacon. Throw in the oven.

Cut in half, toss in olive oil/s&p in ziplock, let sit in there 30 min, then roast.

Add a couple drops of balsamic vinegar.

I don't put shallot or onions in mine.. I just cook them in rendered bacon grease il they're bright green, .. add salt and pepper and crumble the cooked bacon over the top.

Before I cook em though, I flip each one and cut off the stub, then remove the big, loose, outer most leaves, which can be bitter.

Steam them whole for a 5 minutes then skewer and finish on the grill. I like them a little charred.

Your method sounds solid. I like to add some lemon juice and lemon zest

One time I broiled them with some caramelized onions with some chopped bacon and a beet juice and port reduction. Came out awesome.

Using Trader Joes pre sliced and pre-seasoned with salt/pepper.

Microwave for 4 mins.
Toss in skillet, add onion powder, red pepper flakes, tbs or two of Tamari and some sliced almonds; cook on super high till seared.

I do this with a little garlic.

I also cut them in half and cook them in a skillet with bacon, worchestire sauce and honey. Very good.

Cut them in half and saute them in a pan with pancetta.

Roasting or grilling are ways to make friends with the brussel. Halve them then drdge in a seasoned EVO bath, and add chopped onion and garlic, 45 minutes.
