There's nothing to this recipe-the preparation and cooking times are so quick. I sprinkle in a few dried cranberries, but you can let your imagination take over. Add a handful of raisins or walnuts at the end, or even sliced oranges. If your Brussels sprouts are large, cut them in half. -Ellen Ruzinsky, Yorktown Heights, New York

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest Brussels sprouts you can find. Look for sprouts that are firm and have tightly closed leaves.
  • Trim the Brussels sprouts before cooking. Cut off the stem end and any wilted or damaged leaves.
  • Blanch the Brussels sprouts if you want them to have a brighter green color. To blanch, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green. Immediately remove the Brussels sprouts from the boiling water and plunge them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Roast the Brussels sprouts at a high temperature. This will help them to caramelize and develop a delicious flavor.
  • Add some flavorings to the Brussels sprouts before roasting. You can use olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or any other spices that you like.
  • Roast the Brussels sprouts until they are tender and slightly browned. This will usually take about 20-25 minutes.
  • Serve the Brussels sprouts immediately. They can be served on their own or as a side dish with chicken, fish, or beef.
