The Best Brussel Sprouts Ever Recipes

THE BEST ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Remove the crusts from the bread slices. Cut the bread into large cubes. Transfer to a food processor and pulse until uniformly chopped (the pieces of bread should be slightly smaller than a peppercorn; you should have about 2 cups).
• Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in the melted butter, Parmesan, a pinch of salt and few grinds of black pepper. Spread on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until golden brown and crisp, stirring halfway through, about 14 minutes. Set aside on a wire rack to cool.
• Meanwhile, place another rimmed baking sheet in the oven to preheat.
• Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts, remove any tough or bruised outer leaves and cut each in half lengthwise. Toss the Brussels sprouts, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a large bowl.
• Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and add the Brussels sprouts, cut-side down, in an even layer. Roast until well browned and tender, about 30 minutes.
• Transfer the Brussels sprouts to a serving platter and top with the Parmesan breadcrumbs.

ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
• Place trimmed Brussels sprouts, olive oil, kosher salt, and pepper in a large resealable plastic bag. Seal tightly, and shake to coat. Pour onto a baking sheet, and place on center oven rack.
• Roast in the preheated oven for 30 to 45 minutes, shaking pan every 5 to 7 minutes for even browning. Reduce heat when necessary to prevent burning. Brussels sprouts should be darkest brown, almost black, when done. Adjust seasoning with kosher salt, if necessary. Serve immediately.

THE BEST BRUSSELS SPROUTS OF YOUR LIFE

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 400F
• If needed, clean and trim the Brussels sprouts and cut them in halves and place them in an oven safe dish. Make sure to dry them very well before cooking.
• Add the garlic, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper, followed by the olive oil. Toss to coat.
• Roast in the oven uncovered for 20-25 minutes until crisp, brown and caramelized on the outside and tender on the inside. Serve with more grated cheese.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH MAPLE GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. (To get them perfectly crispy, make sure this is the only pan in the oven and you're not roasting anything else at the same time.)
• Slice off any hard ends of the Brussels sprouts, as needed. Slice them in half lengthwise and place them in a large bowl.
• Mix the sprouts with the olive oil, kosher salt, and lots of fresh ground black pepper.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper*, then pour the spouts onto the sheet. Turn them all cut side down.
• Roast for 25 minutes until very browned and tender (don't stir!).
• While the sprouts are roasting, place the maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, and soy sauce in a small saucepan. Simmer 3 to 5 minutes on medium low heat until thickened slightly and reduced (this should result in about 2 to 2 1/2 tablespoons glaze).
• When the sprouts are done, pour over the maple balsamic glaze. Serve immediately.

SAUTéED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Heat a large cast iron or similar sturdy bottomed skillet over medium high for 4 minutes. Add the oil. As soon as the oil is hot and shining (but before it starts smoking), swirl to cost the pan, then add the halved Brussels sprouts. Shake the skillet a little and prod them so that as many as possible are cut-side down. Let sit completely undisturbed for 5 to 8 minutes, until they develop a dark, tasty, caramelized sear.
• Add the salt and pepper. With a wooden spoon or spatula, stir the Brussels sprouts. Continue cooking, stirring every few minutes, until the Brussels sprouts are browned all over and just turning tender the inside, about 6 to 8 additional minutes.
• Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the vinegar, then the pine nuts or almonds. Let the residual heat of the skillet toast the nuts, stirring them very often so that they toast evenly on all sides and do not burn (if they aren't toasting, return the skillet to low heat). As soon as the nuts are toasted, transfer the sprouts to a serving plate and sprinkle with fresh herbs. Enjoy hot.

THE BEST BRUSSEL SPROUTS EVER!

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375*
• 2. On medium high heat, cook your bacon until desired consistency. (I recommend cooked all the way through, but not completely crispy)
• 3. while bacon is cooking, prep the sprouts. Clean and peel as needed, cut off bottom, and slice sprouts in half length wise. Also take this time to chop your onion.
• 4. When bacon is done, remove bacon and place on a paper towel to remove excess fat.
• 5. Place onion in the bacon fat already in the pan that has rendered off the bacon. If you need more fat, add a tablespoon or so. Saute the onions for a few minutes, and then add the sprouts. Cook until slightly golden in color, but not burnt. (about 5-10 minutes)
• 6. Cut up bacon that you have already cooked, and add to mixture of sprouts and onion. Add salt an pepper to taste. Then place sprouts in oven. I cook all of this in a cast iron and then just place the pan in the oven and cook, but you can also place them on a cookie sheet to cook. Which ever you prefer. At this stage you can add Parmesan cheese if you like! (shredded NOT grated)
• 7. Cook for about 15 minutes or so, to the desired consistency you prefer. We like them a little soft but still with a little cruch. Just past al dente.
