Well I cut the ends off and slice them in half. Then I put olive oil over them and lots of pepper and a little kosher salt. Then, I slice up some garlic cloves and then some bacon ends.
Bacon ends, you ask?
Well I get a package of bacon and slice off about 1.5 inches off each end. Right while they are still in the package! Those go in with the Brussels sprouts and the rest get cooked with my eggs for breakfast.
Then I either put them in the oven at 400 degrees or I wrap them in tin foil and put them on the grill. I cook until they are blackened. They end up tasting like candy.
Yes, Brussels sprouts can taste like candy and they have a much better nutritional value than candy. If you don't believe me, you can ask Byron Jones.
He will tell you.
They are great, and I have a better recipe than that.
I used to hate Brussels Sprouts and refused to eat them. One time my parents, my older brother and I went out to eat before a big football game. And wouldn’t you know it, they served Brussels Sprouts with the meal!
My dad said flat out if I didn’t eat them, we weren’t going to the game. I put one in my mouth and started to chew half-heartdly. Then my brother slapped me in the back and I swallowed it. And guess what. It wasn’t bad at all.
I finished the meal and we went to the game.
Love Brussels Sprouts
Wife hates them, was pressured by her father to eat them at young age.
Can’t get over it.
They make me puke.
My DIL rolls them in oil,puts them on a baking sheet,and puts them in the oven(I don’t know time or temp.)-—they are delicious.

You probably had the boiled ones. I like the roasted ones with garlic and olive oil.
They're addictive!!
My husband and I always liked them——but just boiled topped with lots of butter——all of these new ways of cooking them are just awesome.

My mother served them once, and I was all excited, because they looked like tiny cabbages. Then I tasted one. It was nothing like cabbage. I have never recovered from the trauma of that cruel joke. And no, I will not eat those horrid little cabbage impersonators.
Steam
Till soft
Split in half
Fry middles in olive oil till brown
Yum
Even my kids love em
If they are overcooked they can take on an unpleasant taste, but if done correctly they are actually pretty good, and slightly sweet (even). Delicious with butter ... if not overcooked.
We love them...
Split in half. Coat/toss with equal mixture of rice vinegar, honey and sriracha. Salt and pepper. Layer on a shallow baking pan, bake about 25 minutes @ 350. Damn delicious morsels of sweet and heat.
I love em. Roasted, steamed. I like to chop up leftovers and put in an omelet with pepper jack cheese. Yum.
Boil until tender
Saute with real butter
Remove from burner
Add sweet basil, salt and pepper
In lieu of sweet basil balsamic vinaigrette is very good.
It “aint bad” at all.
Oooohhh-———you are making me hungry——sounds easy,which I love.

You folks are torturing me with these great cooking ideas.

Heaven!
I have to confess I lifted that story from a Leave it to Beaver episode. I told the same story at a family get together a few years back. A few moments after I finished, my sister says, “Hey wait a minute, that was from Leave it to Beaver.”
The funniest part was that as I was telling the story, my mom said she vaguely remembered the incident and even named a restaurant.
