I'm cooking steak and a bunch of vegetables tomorrow night and my wife picked up some brussel sprouts. What is the go-to recipe for you guys?

I slice mine in half, olive oil, S&P. Placed on a foil wrapped baking sheet, and then place a rack above with bacon. Cook at 350 until the bacon is done. Remove, chop bacon and toss with the sprouts.

Sometimes I'll pour balsamic vinegar and broil for a few minutes at the end. Sometimes parmesan, sometimes both, sometimes neither.

Sliced, with olive oil, salt, pepper with bacon... toss with a little honey and put back in for a few minutes.

Balsamic is good as well

Cook bacon and purple onion in a cast iron skillet with some olive oil.

Add halved Brussels, garlic salt. Cook down a bit.

Turn broiler on and put skillet in under broiler.

People who say they hate sprouts will be asking you to fix these over and over.

I shave them, then toss them with some really good olive oil, lemon, and then top with some finely grated quality Parmesan and a bit of coarse salt.

Clean and steam for a few minutes in covered Sauté pan, which makes it easier to finish roasting them in oven. Cut them in half if desired or do whole.

Transfer to preheated, lightly oiled (with olive oil) baking pan and preheated 400 F oven. Cook for 10 minutes, turn and 5-10 more.

Transfer to serving bowl. Stir in a little balsamic, a few craisins (the ones in the photo were cut in half - why? I have no idea - I guess because I felt like it - seems silly now) and a few pecan pieces which were lightly roasted in sauté pan, with a little butter and salted.

I see no bacon in these, but you can if you like.

Cut in half, toss in olive oil, spread out on a baking sheet/cast iron pan, sprinkle with garlic powder, lemon pepper, cavenders, and a little salt. 400 degree oven stirring occasionally till they're crispy. Finish with some balsamic glaze.

You have the best post on this site but this isn't it. I eat everything except raisins! Some of these other ones seem right up my alley. Post on MD!

I trim and slice in half, then put them in a steamer for about 10 minutes to soften them up. While that's going, I heat up some olive oil in a skillet and add some garlic. When the garlic just opens up, the sprouts go in with the garlic and get tossed around. I'll add salt here, pepper, pepper flakes, etc., whatever spices I feel like that day. Then I let the sprouts just sit there and cook untouched for a few minutes to get some nice brown crusties to develop on the edges.

After that browning around the edges sets in, I deglaze with a couple of tablespoons of balsamic and add in a couple of tablespoons of brown sugar. After I get the bottom of the skillet nice and scraped, I stir it real good to get the sugar dissolved and then just let it simmer for a minute or two to thicken a bit, toss them to coat real well, and serve.

craisins are dried cranberries, not raisins...

I know what they are, it's about the same thing to me.

Preheat oven 450°F and place a heavy guage roasting pan on the bottom of the oven (remove oven racks to make it easier to access the bottom of the oven).

Cut Brussels in half top to bottom & toss with salt & 50/50 olive oil/ canola.

Meanwhile make the sauce below.
quote:

Fish Sauce Vinaigrette

1/2cup fish sauce (adjust to taste -- some fish sauce brands are saltier)
1/4cup water
2tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2tablespoons lime juice (from 1 lime)
1/4cup sugar
1garlic clove, minced
2red bird’s-eye chiles, thinly sliced, seeds intact (i substitute a serrano

Recipe can be found here

Next add the Brussels to the pan in the bottom of the oven and roast 5-8 minutes until browned. Shake pan to redistribute Brussels and continue roasting for another 5-8 minutes. Repeat the shaking & roasting process until the desired color is achieved. I like them well charred but not burnt.

Toss roasted Brussels in vinaigrette and let stand while you chiffonade mint & cilantro leaves. Remove Brussels from vinaigrette & place on serving dish, too with mint & cilantro.

Buen Provecho

Lots of good stuff here.

One thing - taking 3-5 minutes to precook them in a sauté pan with a little oil and water before hitting the oven is really nice. Gets them nice without burning and of the sprouts.

Must be a good way. I learned it from Darla.

Got this out of the paper:

Cut sprouts In half, sprinkle with olive oil, salt and pepper. Place on a cookie sheet. Roast for 20 Minutes at 400F till they are toasty.
While they are roasting, sauté half a diced onion and 1# of diced sausage in a little olive oil or bacon grease. By he time that cooks down the sprouts should be done. Combine the two with half a cup of pepper jelly and mix while it’s all still warm. Serve immediately.

It’s excellnt.

Used to the basic bacon route, but I upped it up a bit last few times

Tomorrow, I’ll do a combo of panchetta and prosciutto. I just roast them for 30-40 minutes with some EVOO. Sometimes I add garlic. At the end I add walnuts and cayenne then drizzle with honey

Cut the sprouts in half, dice a little onion, and cut up some sweet potato. Toss all in olive oil with salt and pepper. Throw in the oven for 20ish minutes on 400 degrees. A perfect side to almost anything, but especially red meat.

And to all those saying balsamic vinegar, good call. If im feeling frisky, ill take the pan out at 19 minutes, drizzle some on top, and let go for another minute or so.
