Golden-Crusted Brussels Sprouts Recipe

Olive oil is recommended when making this brussels sprouts recipe!

brussel sprout recipe

24 small brussels sprouts
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for rubbing
fine-grain sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup grated cheese of your choice


Wash the Brussels Sprouts well. Trim the stem ends, removing any raggy outer leaves. Cut in half from stem to top and gently rub each half with olive oil. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; don't overheat the skillet! Place the brussels sprouts in the pan flat side down in a single layer. Sprinkle with a couple pinches of salt. Cover and cook for roughly 5 minutes; the bottoms of the sprouts should only show a hint of browning.

Once just tender, uncover, turn up the heat, and cook until the flat sides are deep brown and caramelized. Toss them once or twice to get some browning on the rounded side. Season with more salt, a few grinds of pepper, and a dusting of grated cheese. Serves 4.

Brussels Sprouts -- The Sprout Book: A Celebration of the Humble Brussels Sprout

Rah rah cis boom bah -- let's hear it for brussels sprouts!

Though the Brussels Sprout is the butt of many a joke, there are actually many things to love about this lowly veggie. Packed with insights and factoids, this is a highly eccentric look into a whole new world of sprout-related pleasure.

The Sprout Book: A Celebration of the Humble Brussels Sprout

A recent survey found that Brussels sprouts were the most hated vegetable in Britain, yet though the sprout is often the butt of the jokes around the Christmas dinner table, there are actually many things to love about the lowly sprout. Sprouts are full of vitamins, folic acid and dietary fiber [fibre] - and consuming them doesn't have to be a chore.

There are an abundance of recipes new and old championing the use of sprouts in cooking, from the quirky Brussels Sprouts in Beer to the rather more stylish Brussels Sprout Gratin. If you still can't bring yourself round to the idea of consuming a Brussels sprout, why not try your hand at Brussels sprouts indoor boules, or making them into original, conversation-stopping jewellery?

Whatever you choose to do with your sprouts, "The Sprout Book" uncovers a whole new world of sprout-related pleasure in this highly eccentric (and embarrassingly flatulent) gift book.

Brussels Sprouts with Balsamic Vinegar Recipe

1 1/2 pound fresh Brussels Sprouts
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced
1 medium onion, peeled and thinly sliced
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons butter
Salt & freshly ground pepper to taste


Trim off the stems and remove any limp leaves from the brussels sprouts. Blanch the sprouts in boiling water to cover for 5 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Heat a large frying pan and add the olive oil, garlic and onion. Saute a few minutes until the onion just becomes tender. Add the blanched, drained brussels sprouts. Saute a few minutes. Add the vinegar and toss so that all the brussels sprouts are coated with the vinegar. Add the butter and salt and pepper to taste and toss again.

    Julie, how much blue cheese would you suggest if it was converted to American measurements for taste - 1/4 cup? Any more than a 1/2 cup seems like it would be too rich. It looks to be wonderful, though...making it tonight with jasmine fried rice and roasted garlic chicken.
