7 Best Brussels Sprouts Recipes Even the Pickiest Eater Will Love

By Melanie Aman

Tags:

The best Brussels sprouts recipes will make you fall back in love with this crispy, crunchy cruciferous veggie. Unfortunately, Brussels sprouts have unfairly earned a reputation for being bitter, mushy green balls that are reserved only for Christmas dinner. But in reality, these underappreciated greens deserve to be the star of the show — as long as they’re prepared correctly.

Cooking Brussels sprouts is a complicated science. The secret to the perfect Brussels sprout is a combination of the right cooking oil and a very hot oven. If you have those two things, it only takes 10 to 15 minutes before you can enjoy a flawless pan of roasted Brussels sprouts. And once you’ve done that, you can add them to any of our favorite Brussels sprouts recipes. Keep scrolling to see the best Brussels sprouts recipes that the whole family can enjoy — if you’re willing to share, that is!
