I grew up hating Brussels sprouts because my mother always served them boiled and the soft texture and sulphury taste was a huge turn off. I’ve since discovered how excellent they are roasted, but I’m eager to try some of the preparations you mention here. Perhaps I can even convert my husband, phobic of sprouts (and most other vegetables!).
I have never seen Brussel sprouts like that in a farmers market, how beautiful! My husband recently discovered he actually likes them, so thank you for the recipes!
Brussels sprouts are actually one of my favorite vegetables! This may be because I've never actually eaten them boiled; instead, my family tortured me every January 1st by trying to get me to eat boiled cabbage (for good luck, which still couldn't convince me). I imagine the cabbage is similar to boiled Brussels, though!
I honestly love them just roasted in the oven with some salt, pepper, and oil, but I've admittedly had a variation on the recipes that incorporate bacon, too. I really like the idea of Brussels in stir fry, and appreciate the adaptation of making a recipe more weeknight-friendly!
This is slightly off-topic, but looping back to cabbage--we have half a head left over from a vegetable cream that we made and I'm stuck on what to do with it. Any ideas?
I love Brussels sprouts. One of my favorite ways to cook them is to braise them. When I roast a chicken and go in to baste toward the end of the roasting time, I take a little bit of the liquid that has cooked off the chicken and reduced. Then I put it in a skillet and use it to braise sprouts. So, so good.

Love Brussels sprouts!
It was your sprout salad from One Pan Pescatarian that changed my mind about brussels sprouts! I love them roasted with apple or pear, works so well!
