Brussel Sprouts

Brussels sprouts make the perfect side dish for any meal! They’re packed with fiber, vitamin K, and vitamin C. Whether you’re harvesting Brussels sprouts from your garden or buying them from a local farmer, keep these tips in mind when choosing the best-tasting sprouts:

• Look for bright green sprouts with compact leaves
• Different sizes have different flavors
  • Larger Brussels sprouts can have more of a bitter taste and smaller-sized Brussels sprouts have a sweeter flavor
• Trim the stem ends and cut them accordingly
  • If you are roasting them, cut them in quarters or halves, and if you’re shredding them, leave them whole
• Roast them longer than expected
  • Cook the sprouts until the leaves are browned for the sweetest flavor
• Brussels sprouts can also be tasty raw
  • Mix the sprouts with a vinaigrette and let sit for 15 minutes for a tasty salad
