Roasting is an easy way to bring out the natural sweetness of Brussels sprouts. Toss with olive oil, salt and pepper, spread them on a baking sheet, and roast in a preheated oven at 375°F until they are golden brown.
Grilling brings out a rich smokiness that enhances the flavor of Brussels sprouts. After cleaning and cutting off the base, toss with your favorite herbs and spices. Grill over medium heat for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally.
Stir frying is an easy way to bring together bold flavors with Brussels sprouts in one dish. Heat some oil in a pan over medium-high heat, then add garlic, onions and other vegetables of your choice. Add Brussels sprouts when the vegetables are nearly done cooking.
Steaming is one of the healthiest ways to cook Brussels sprouts as it preserves their nutrients and vitamins. Place the washed and trimmed sprouts in a steamer basket over boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes or until tender.
