Brussels sprouts are very attractive on grocery store shelves with their cabbage-like appearance. The cute appearance of these tiny cabbages compels you to buy some. However, when Brussels sprouts are taken home and steamed or boiled following the most common recipe for them, most people feel disappointed with the taste and mushy texture. So, people usually decide not to buy them again and resist their tiny and compelling appearance in the grocery store.
However, Brussels sprouts release their best flavors by sautéing or roasting. We share a roasted Brussels sprouts recipe below, leaving sautéing to another recipe.
