I'm trying to be adventurous and try new things so there is variety. I picked up a bag of frozen Steamfresh Brussel sprouts. I've never eaten these before. What's a good way to eat them?

I microwave according to directions to cook them... while they are in the microwave I cut an onion up and fry in pan with pam spray, salt & peper. Once the onion is cooked I then cut the brussel sprouts in half and add them to the pan. I spray more pam and keep them in there until they get browned & yummy. Hope you enjoy.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Buy fresh brussel sprouts, cut each one in half and put them on a baking pan. Then slice one white onion and spread the onion over the brussel sprouts. Add some pepper and one tablespoon of evoo. Bake in the oven for one hour. When the hour is up, take them out and spread one tablespoon of REAL bacon bits over the top (25 calories). Delicious!

I like the fresh ones, too... and I roast them in the oven with a little balsalmic vinegar. I roast them until they are brown and tender, after cutting them into quarters. DELISH!

I love them straight out of the microwave, tossed with a little light Caesar salad dressing. They're my go to snack, but I'll admit that I'm in the minority on that one!

I didn't start eating brussel sprouts until I started with Jenny. I cut the fresh ones in half, parboil for 2 mins., spread out in a pan that has been covered with foil and sprayed with cooking spray. Then I spray the sprouts and sprinkle Italian seasoning on them and roast in the oven for 10 mins. at 425. Take pan from oven, turn sprouts over and roast another 5 mins. Delish! I also roast cabbage. Just slice it in l/2 inch slices and roast. So good!

So you parboil the sprouts first? I always do but am wondering if it's even necessary?

[Aislinn]

For frozen sprouts (or fresh ones), steam them for about 10-12 minutes till they're tender and then sauté them with a bit of butter and garlic. Om nom nom!

I don't. I just put them in the oven raw... and let them roast at 400 degrees. Watching them as they brown, so they don't burn.

Mmmmmmm Brussel Sprouts!!!! Love getting the ones that are fresh from the grocery store and washing them cutting them in half and then in a skillet that can be put into the oven to roast at some point.
Roasted Brussels Sprouts w/ Balsamic Vinegar Recipe

For this recipe we are going to deviate from the norm. We aren’t going to list quantities for the ingredients. We want you to trust yourselves and cook from the seat of your pants. Toss it, taste it, and just relax and cook. If you want to do a medley of veggies like those mentioned above, since they all would have different roasting time we suggest that you roast them individually then toss everything together when you are ready to serve.

Ingredients

Brussels Sprouts
Olive Oil (don’t use the cheap stuff. The tastier the oil, the tastier the dish) *** I use Grapeseed Oil sometimes too, it's got a butterier taste to it.... or even coconut oil too..... *****
Balsamic Vinegar

Sea Salt
Fresh Cracked Pepper

1. Preheat oven to roast at 375°F.

2. Peel the outer, beat-up layers of the brussels sprouts off. Trim the end, then cut brussels sprouts in half.

3. Toss in a bowl with enough olive oil to coat evenly, then add balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper to taste.

4. Lightly oil a sheet pan, then spread out brussels sprouts, cut side down. Roast in oven for 15 min., flip the sprouts to cut side up, then roast for about 10 minutes more or until gently browned.

That’s it. If you want you can serve them with a little creme fraiche, or maybe toss them with a touch more oil & balsamic for an extra tang. These make an excellent easy side dish, or a nice little munchie.

BTW: I DO NOT USE A SHEET PAN I USE THE SKILLET THAT I COOKED THEM IN TO NOT USE MORE OIL..... I THINK THIS MAKES THEM CRISPIER...... MMM!! ENJOY!!

I've got to try this. I am dont rly like Brussel sprouts but I need to try new things.

[InItToWinIt25]

Brussel sprouts are my favorite! I take the frozen kind and slice them in half, preheat oven to 380-400, then I use my Jenny Craig Balsamic dressing and pour on top, and then move em around to cover them all and roast them in the oven, I dont know for how long, I guess till they brown a little on the egdes, they are so good and you can make a ton of them since the dressing is kind of watering it goes a long way.

[reddyrawks]

I suggest you use those brussel sprouts to chuck at people with a sling shot..you know, pick a few people you don't really care for! Imagine all the exercise you will get...see I knew them nasty things were good for something!
