I know the title sounds a little pretentious, but these seriously are amazing. I've had many self-proclaimed Brussels sprout haters do a complete u-turn with this recipe. The best part is that it is so quick and just uses the microwave, so for big dinners where the oven is in use, this makes a great side!

1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup melted butter

Clean and halve the Brussels sprouts. Put them in a microwave safe dish and add a tablespoon or so of water. Cover and microwave on high for about five minutes. They should NOT be fully cooked.
Core, then roughly chop the apples, leaving skin on.

Tips

Choose the right Brussels sprouts: Look for firm, deep green sprouts with no signs of wilting or yellowing.
Trim and halve the Brussels sprouts: Cut off the stem end and halve the sprouts lengthwise. This will help them cook evenly.
Season generously: Brussels sprouts love salt and pepper. Season them well before cooking.
Don't overcrowd the pan: When roasting or sautéing Brussels sprouts, make sure to give them enough space so they can brown evenly. Otherwise, they will steam instead of roast.
Roast at high heat: Roasting Brussels sprouts at high heat will help them caramelize and develop a delicious crispy exterior.
Don't overcook: Brussels sprouts are best when they are cooked just until tender. Overcooking will make them mushy.
Add some crunch: If you like, you can add some crunch to your Brussels sprouts by adding chopped nuts, seeds, or breadcrumbs.

Conclusion

Brussels sprouts are a delicious and versatile vegetable that can be enjoyed in many different ways. With their unique flavor and texture, they are a great addition to any meal. Whether you roast them, sauté them, or grill them, Brussels sprouts are sure to please. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give Brussels sprouts a try.
