Brussels sprouts are a winter vegetable and seem to be at their peak now in flavor and quality. Last Monday they looked so good at the market, my guy had to get them. Brussels sprouts is a vegetable that doesn't that much respect. Maybe it's the way they are prepared. Typically they cooked in water for a long time and then they stink and just not very interesting. A few days before last Thanksgiving, Mollie Katzen of Moosewood cookbook fame was interviewed on NPR and she had this recipe for the sprouts.
1. Heat oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Trim the stem.
3. Slice the sprouts in half.
4. Place Brussels sprouts on cookie sheet and add a tablespoon or so olive oil and a dash of salt.
5. Use you hands to spread the oil and salt on all the sprouts.
6. Place the flat side of the sprouts against the cookie sheet.
7. Place in oven for 10 minutes.
8. Toss the sprouts and place in oven for 5 minutes more.

That's it. In the process of trimming and and slicing in half, you will find that there will be some individual sprout leaves. These will melt in your mouth like a potato chip. Oh, they are so good.

I recently saw a TV show for a stir fry recipe with brussel sprouts as well. They looked nummy too.
I've had something like this and agree, very tasty. Need to make it myself one of these days--thanks!
I fix my brussel sprouts the same way but add sliced garlic while cooking at high heat in the oven. They have such a great nutty flavor.
Thanks for visiting our blog.
