Favorite brussel sprouts recipe -- for tonight?

[ThisIsTheDay]

If you have a favorite recipe, I'd love to hear it. I have a 1.5 lb. package for just four of us, so if no one else likes them, I'll be eating them for a few days.  :D

 

Thanks!

Roasted in the oven with olive oil, salt and pepper.

Roast them, and when they are tender toss them in this sauce:

 

2 tsp balsamic vinegar

1 tbsp maple syrup

1 tbsp (fresh if possible) orange juice

1/2 tsp orange zest

2 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces.

 

Heat the first four ingredients until hot but not simmering; take off the heat and whisk in the butter a few pieces at a time.

 

Possibly consider not sharing.

shredded and sauteed in butter or bacon fat

Shred, sautée over high heat so they get brown but stay crispy, add coarsly chopped hazelnuts, a couple cloves of garlic, a dash of lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Grate Asiago or another hard cheese over top if desired. So easy and yum.

I love them.  I can eat them steamed (frozen) with a tad of butter and salt.  I prefer them fresh, roasted in the oven with olive oil salt and garlic.

I like them shredded and sauteed also.  I add in a chopped shallot and just salt/pepper after it's all nicely browned.  But a reduced balsamic glaze is a nice finish also.

I know this is late, but this is my new favorite

The smaller the sweeter they are.

For the bigger ones:

We boil them, and potatoes too, and smash them together to a 'stamppot'.

Adding some sweet apples and baked bacon slices.

 

For the Dutch speaking:

Thank you for the great ideas! I've only made these once or twice before and had no desire to try them again.

 

But last night, I sliced them thinly and sauteed in butter/oil until browned, seasoning with salt, pepper and a bit of lemon juice. They were fantastic, and surprisingly both of my kids liked them a lot. I want to sub the lemon juice with balsamic, and I want to try roasting with a splash of bourbon.

 

It was nice to finally like these little things!

Agreeing! I used to steam them from time to time and put balsamic vinegar on them, but DH and I are the only ones who liked them and even so, I mostly just ate them because they are very nutritious.

 

I just started making them another way, though and I LOVE them this way, plus all the kids enthusiastically ate them:

 

Par-boil them in water for about five minutes; drain. Brown some bacon in the pan while the sprouts drain, remove bacon. Sauté a bit of onion till soft; add back the sprouts. Salt, pepper and 1 Tbsp of Maple Syrup over them. Keep stirring in the pan so they don't burn, about 5 more minutes. Add back the bacon. Serve.

 

Yum!

This. If you have any leftovers, reheat in the oven until very crispy and top with a fried egg. Yum!

We love them shredded, tossed in olive oil and S&P, and roasted in a hot oven.  When they are brown and crispy, serve over roasted garlic aioli.  Yum!
