I have never, in my 22 years, had brussels sprouts before! (Since when are the slept brussels sprouts??) So, when I stumbled across them at the farmers market, I had to have them! Have you ever seen brussels sprouts on the stalk? They are adorable, tiny little cabbages.
The first thing that I did was cut the little bitty bites off the stalk and put them in a strainer
I then pealed off all of the nasty looking outer leaves (this took a while...)

| Brussels sprouts & my favorite- Butternut Squash! |
After tossing them in olive oil and salt & paper, I roasted them individually at 375 degrees for about 40 minutes
The sprouts were alright. The squash was amazing, as usual.
I like how they turned out, but preferred the squash.
Question(s) of the night:
Do you like Brussels Sprouts?
Do you prepare them in a different way?

Those look delicious! I have recently started liking sprouts! I never did as a kid but I like the taste more and more now! I tend to roast them with garlic and oil, but I have a garlic obsession!
ReplyDeleteI am not a fan of brussels sprouts- they are too bitter for me! I never knew brussels was plural until I started reading food blogs, lol
ReplyDeleteI've never cooked them myself so I don't know for sure the best way to prepare them, but I think the comment above about olive oil and garlic may be the way to go.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was cheddar cheese at first, not squash haha. I've never had Brussels s. either. Perhaps the thought that the are gross is correct then lol. I have recently started loving zuccini.
ReplyDeleteI only tried to make them once, not very successfully! We tried to roast them, the texture was OK but I didn't care for the flavor, still looking for the right recipe......
