Cut the sprouts in half, brush lightly with something flavorful (olive oil and salt works, but bacon grease is another option) and roast until crispy on the outside. They’re amazing.
Fun fact this is actually new! A Dutch scientist, Hans van Doorn, identified the specific chemicals that cause bitter taste and very quickly bred the bitterness out of modern cultivars
holy shit that’s amazing. That guy needs the Nobel equivalent of food awards, because I started seeing them pop up in restaurants and it made me very happy but I did know why 😆
Roast broccoli and roast brussel sprouts and roast asparagus. Give me greens, evoo, salt pepps, and 425 degrees for some amount of time, and we’re good to go.
Boiled broccoli is terrible!
Steamed broccoli is great!
You don’t need to add extra stuff on correctly steamed broccoli.
Brussels sprouts however, are just bad. No way to cook them that doesn’t taste awful. They should be the childhood horror vegetable.
