Brussels Sprouts grow best when the weather is still chilly, but has lots of sunshine….i.e. the Spring and Autumn. This is where the tradition of eating them for Easter dinner, and then again during harvest and Christmas come from…..they are at their freshest then. So try an early spring batch, and then about 60 days before first hard frost, do an autumn crop!

I only liked green beans & corn as a child. Every other vegetable my mom boiled until it was mush and the whole house stank!

Now I think I like them all except mushrooms & eggplant

I’m preparing your recipe for Easter dinner, thanks for sharing.

We haven’t had much success growing them here, but we think it is mostly due to being too warm. Growing up in NE Oregon, brussels sprouts were very easy to grow for Mom. Unfortunately I don’t remember any specifics or pest problems we might have had. I was too young at that point to pay attention. Good luck growing them. There is nothing like growing your own veggies!

Thanks for the insite. I live in Kansas City and have just discovered eating the fresh brussel sprouts and just loved them . I thought I would also try to grow them this year in my small garden. I was wondering how hard they were to grow and about any pests. Your comment helped a lot. thanks.

Your welcome. Grandma used to say that you don’t dislike an ingredient, just the way it was prepared. Find the right way and love can be born.

I gave brussels sprouts a chance after having them served to me boiled and disliking them. I saw someone on tv roasting them and when he said that cooking them in this way made them “a completely different vegetable” and he was SO right. I tried this recipe and loved it and have been making them this way ever since. Thanks!

The ONLY way to cook brussels as far as I’m concerned!!!! Roasting any veggie accentuates it’s sweetness and, especially in brussel sprouts, vanishes the bitterness. Thanks for the beautiful pictures!

My kids LOVE brussel sprouts. They will literally fight over them. I kid you not. I have always roasted them. Was browsing for a twist on them and I think I’ll try yours tonight. Thanks!

I’m weird! Always loved brussel sprouts as a kid whether boiled or in the green giant butter packets. My mom was a lousy cook(then) which is probably why I went into the culinary field – albiet at an advanced age. What made me gag was eggplant. Now my wife makes a turkey-eggplant lasagne that I don’t invite company over for because I don’t want to share and the leftovers are just as good if not better. Grumpy Bob

According to Dr. Phil that’s good for you. Nice long walks after dinner are always a good idea. Helps clear the air
