Should I cut Brussels sprouts in half before roasting?
Halving larger sprouts increases the exposed surface area and gives you more opportunity for browning.
What goes well with Brussels sprouts?
Try Parmesan, lemon, balsamic vinegar, garlic, bacon, herbs, nuts, or a small amount of maple syrup.
So, Does Anyone Actually Eat Brussels Sprouts?
Absolutely.
In fact, Brussels sprouts have gone from one of the most mocked vegetables to a popular side dish precisely because cooks discovered that they don’t have to taste the way many of us remember them.
If your only experience with Brussels sprouts involved a pot of overcooked vegetables, you may want to give them another chance.
Roast them hot. Give them room on the pan. Let the edges brown. Add a little salt, lemon, Parmesan, or balsamic.
You might discover that the vegetable you thought you hated was never really the problem.
Maybe it just needed a better recipe.
