As a matter of fact it DOES have to do with the brussels sprout itself! About 20 years ago brussels sprout farmers started breeding out some of the compounds that made the sprouts so bitter, and so today we have a much more mellow sprout that more people find enjoyable!

As a person who's been eating baked brussel sprouts for at least thirty five years,....... lies.

Not gonna lie Dude. I was raised in a poor, food desert home and was barely exposed to more than overcooked cheap steak and chicken mcnuggets. Almost 40 now and really enjoying my culinary journey and my health journey (not saying THESE sprouts are healthy LOL), but dang am I making all three of these this week. To the local grocery store with me! I'd rather eat elevated sprouts than resort to nuggs any day y'all!

Yo I made the oven roasted maple and sherry glazed sprouts tonight and also did the bacon and fried leaves. The whole table agreed it was the best brussels sprouts they’d ever had. Thanks bro. You’re making me look good.

The blanching step is the key step. It allows the salt to penetrate through the sprout and adds so much flavor. Then making them crispy finishes it. I eat the roasted version all the time and it’s hands down as good as roasted potatoes.

Wtf. It's 10x a roasted potato! 1st thing off my plate tonight was Brussels, then meat, then I made it through 1/2 the potatoes until I slowed to nibble mode and left a tot or two on the plate. My favorite taters are the fingerlings. It's like mini baked potatoes and they roast at the same temp as the Brussels. I did have one pop tonight in the oven. Might want to fork em 1st.

Love Brussel sprouts blanched and roasted in duck fat with roasted sweet chestnuts smokey bacon bits and garlic cloves .One pan cooking drizzled with honey/ barbeque sauce dusted in sweet paprika .

If I'm processing sprouts, I like to freeze the scraps and use them in stock. Sprouts add a ton of great flavor to stocks and broths.

Would recommend starting with diced pancetta and finishing with a sauce that’s made of equal parts balsamic, Dijon mustard, and olive oil. It’s killer!!

Thai sweet chili sauce works on Brussel sprouts as well

Your brussel sprout videos have totally changed how my family and friends and myself relate to the sprout. They’ve gone from tolerated to treasured. Thanks man.

Go for the sherry and maple combination this year on the Brussels sprouts my friends! HAPPY COOKING!!

I've been trying to recreate roasted brussel sprouts that I had at a very high end restaurant a few months ago and none of the recipes I tried on the internet have lived up to that preparation. The base method you have here not only lived up to that preparation but is even better. Thanks so much!

The issue is basically preparation and presentation. Other cultures take care with how they cook their veggies to make them appealing to eat for all ages, while in the States? There’s a tendency (or was) to make them and healthy food in general far less desirable than their less healthy counterparts. It explains the obesity epidemic in a nutshell, especially with how sugary crap and useless carbs are pushed while fat was demonised for decades. And processed food in general. The cliche of eating terrible mushy overcooked vegetables in the anglosphere really did a number.

The best brussel sprouts ive ever had were blanched, cooked in an air fryer, and then tossed with honey and balsamic. I will definitely have to give those other sweet and sour combinations and try!

Sweet, sour, savory, bitter, and umami! With Brussels properly seasoned, honey, and balsamic. The only thing missing is umami. There are a few things to try, but my 1st thing would be to see if I could try would be to add soy sauce somehow. There are other umami things you could use in the tossing sauce, I'm not the most experienced with adding umami yet. Though just covering those 4 mains is bound to be really good. I would be interested in your recipe if possible.

I did maple and balsamic, with bacon and Parmesan for thanksgiving... It was amazing!

Roasted and dressed Brussels sprouts are my kids favorite veggies!

These all look great. I like to brown some butter and drizzle my sprouts with that if I'm feeling fancy. Brown butter is great for a lot of things, but it really adds something special to roasted sprouts.

Just made these tonight, the honey & apple cider vinegar mix. Delicious!

I love Brussel sprouts. In the right hands, they’re just spectacular. I like any balsamic or horseradish modifications. 🤟

thanks dude. your method actually made me like these dang things, and now the sweet glaze?! HAVE to try it

Gotta be honest here, and follow norwegian traditions. Slow simmering in a bit of water with butter and a drizzle of salt on top does more than enough. If you have frozen one, or old stored ones, sure go crazy. But for me, especially during season, keep the natural fresh taste of beautiful brussel-sprouts intact. Respect the produce! Elevate it, don't destroy it with heavy flavors.

Hey!! I love your content too Mike!! You should do a spin from these with a few spicy concoctions!!

Grew brussels in the garden for the first time this year. So nice and you don't get any fresher. I've been doing them this way for years. I add bacon as well.

We use this time honored way for Brussel's sprouts, wash clean and prepare, olive oil salt and pepper, the grill outdoors.

I love sprouts toasted in the oven but I didn’t know I should blanch I’m excited

The last 1 w the balsamic vinegar, my mom used almost the same on steamed pearl onions ,was very good.

Followed your recipe, just roasted these in the food ninja for about 20 minutes then sautéed and I pan. Came out flawless. Thanks for the recipe.

I cook mine another way that works really well. Start them in a cold stainless steel pan with olive oil face down. Cover with the lid and cook on medium for 9 minutes or so or until you smell they are browned. This sears the bottom and steams the sprouts at the same time. I like to throw a bit of sriracha in with the oil for a spicy glaze.

Will try this with blanching. Roasted Brussels are already one of my favorites. Hard to see how they could get better, but will try. Mine are more brown on all around when roasted.

This was already my favorite channel AND THEN I saw the Stort’s Hat!!! 11/10

A STEWART'S HAT?! The sprouts look great. I've always just roasted them up without blanching them. My dad would always blanch them first, and they would be way too soggy for my liking. He probably just blasted them too long in the water, boiling them to a point where they don't need the oven anymore, which made me never want to blanch them again lol. Gotta have my sprouts though, and I bet if I just tossed them in for a couple quick minutes, I could have my mind changed.

omg. 1 min in my chef who taught me to cook brussles, would kiss you im so excite for these recipies

What I really like is caramelized onions with them 🤩

Excellent, born and raised in Holland we had B. Sprouts at least once a week. Either steamed or roasted. I have seldom see successful DEEP FRIED sprouts. Too often I was served ALL BLACK sprouts. You must see some green when it ends on your plate.

Good Better Best, never let it rest , till the good is better and the better is best.

A man after my own heart! I shred them and fry them with a little garlic, lardons and pine nuts 👌🏻

i love brussel sprouts!

I will definitely try these recipes as I love brussel's sprouts. Another idea for a side dish you could try it mashed potatoes and parsnips. I use 1/3 parsnips and 2/3 potatoes but you can vary the amount.

I peel and chop both vegetable and then start with the parsnips by boiling them as they take a few minutes (may 5) longer than the potatoes. I then add the potatoes to the pot and boil (or steam) them until they are tender then I mash them together with the butter, cream, pepper and salt. You can also add garlic to the veggies as you are boiling them. Last year we roasted the veggies and then mashed them. They were very tasty but my family prefers the boiled variety. PS. The left overs are great reheated in a waffle iron.

I love sprouts, I'm just no good cooking them. That blanching thing, you were right roast them first and end up with crunchy nubs. Thanks dude, this is a great push in the right direction.

Boil until just slightly hard still. Fry with plenty of butter and black pepper. Then shave off some of your gammon and a few lardons also and add to the sprouts. Finish with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup and a little balsamic

Please make a compilation video of all of the refrigerator clips 🙏

I love the recipe with sherry and maple syrup and want to make it for Easter but can it be made ahead ? Want to make all my sides the day before. What a great side!

I first tried brussels sprouts from a Golden Corral buffet. They were boiled to death, mushy and unseasoned. I second tried brussels sprouts roasted in bacon fat. They were crispy, charred, and delicious. Still unseasoned, but because they didn't really need it at that point. The bacon lent enough salt.

We just glaze our sprouts with thai sweet chilli sauce and we use bacon fat if possable, butter and sunflower oil if not. Most of the olive oil in my region is poor quality unless you go for small batch and pay a high premium. For toppings we prefer blitzed bacon mixed with fried breadcrumbs, we'll give the maple sauce coating a try as that goes well with bacon. Thanks for the video, take care, God bless one and all.

I blanch in chicken stock for 10 minutes, then roast in the oven for 10 minutes at 350, then I put them in a hot skillet and IMMEDIATELY reduce just a bit of white wine with them. Season while the wine reduces with whatever seasonings you like (personally, Trader Joe’s Citrus Garlic). Sprouts are also REALLY good in ramen

I have a variation of the honey glaze I use for brussel sprouts, and for when I bake a corned beef, the only difference is red pepper flakes.

Brussel sprouts, mushrooms, zeelandic bacon, thyme, try it. Tempted to try and combine this with a little honey glace to what happens there ..

The only music I need while cooking brussel sprouts

Don’t know how I could find a new favorite cooking channel. But, I did.

My mom would pan fry them with bacon and onions till nice and crispy. Salt, pepper and a bit of fresh ground nutmeg at the very end.

Theres a restaurant named "Divine Bovine" in Tucson, Arizona that has superb Brussel Sprouts. Tinge of sweetness like yours. Fantastically Delicious 🫒

Put frozen sprouts into a non stick pan with lots of butter . Gently fry them . As they fry they release their water content and caramelise in the butter . Dont thank me thank Marco Pierre White

I already won the wife and kid over big time with just simple roasted Brussel Sprouts a few months back. I look forward to knocking their socks off with the maple/sherry😁

What about using the steam-in-bag sprouts, half-cooking them according to the package directions, and finishing them in the oven? Since they are already trimmed and half-cooked, they would be easy to cut in half and finish the recipe. Love your channel. I have learned a lot! Thanks

I'm probably going to try the maple one already do one with the balsamic vinegar but a good one is cook up some bacon then in the grease throwing the half brussel sprouts and when you start to smell them getting aromatic poor good quality orange juice over top of it in cover on medium low for about 5 minutes Inman sprinkle Crest cashew nuts in the bacon bits and then serve

For meal prep purposes, could you blanch the sprouts before putting them in the fridge so it's just a matter of baking and glazing on cooking day?
