Last week I bought Brussels sprouts for the first time! I love ordering roasted Brussels sprouts at restaurants, but have never attempted to cook them at home.
I asked for recipe help on Facebook and Instagram and got so many great ideas that I had to share a few recipes here today.
After reading all of your great recipe suggestions, I’ve made several of them since writing this post and now addicted to this fabulous vegetable!
How good are Brussels sprouts for you?
Brussels sprouts are actually a very nutritious! They are high in fiber, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Plus, they have zero saturated fat. Definitely worth adding some of these delicious sprouts to your dinner plans.
How do you know when Brussels sprouts are done?
The center should be soft enough to easily cut into when they are done. Slice Brussels sprouts in half to cook evenly. The leaves will cook faster and can become crunchy. That’s my favorite part!
What Can you Serve With Brussels sprouts?
Once you’ve cooked them, you’ll need a great main dish recipe to go along with your dinner. Here are a few of my favorite dinner recipes that would be wonderful with Brussels Sprouts.

8. Wok charred lemon scented. It is a P.F. Chang’s recipe. Sliver them, zest a lemon, cook them on really high heat with some oil. Toss with lemon zest while cooking and squeeze in a bit of the lemon juice. Let some spots blacken. They are yummy! – Christina
9. Braised in a white wine Dijon mustard sauce. YUM. When I’m not feeling that fancy, oven roasted like many others suggested. -Christina P.

I really like the butter-fried Brussels sprouts. I want to ask if I should cook it well? Because as far as I know the micronutrient content in vegetables will not be sustainable with high temperatures.
I do them with onion, bacon, mushroom and put cheese in top then put in over til.cheese is melted yummy
Ooooh! That sounds yummy! Thanks for stopping by.

My new favorite veggie! I usually roast them with olive oil, salt, pepper and toss with walnuts. My favorite local restaurant tosses them with a simple syrup, roasts them, and then does a quick dip in the fry pan…they get nice and crusty on the outside.
