Hi all: I am in charge of making a roasted brussel sprout recipe for Thanksgiving. I wuld normally make it with pancetta, balsamic, garlic and thyme but... we have some vegetarians at dinner. Any favorites??

Thanks! Jen

    I just made these and they were delicious. I subbed broth for water, but the way the recipe is written, it's vegetarian.

      Roast them whole in butter, touch of olive oil, salt and LOTS of pepper, about halfway through cooking add some cubes of butternut squash a sprinkle of brown sugar (and some extra pepper for good measure) and finish roasting. Perfect and I have had a number of people who ‘don’t like sprouts’ come back for more a number of times.

          The best brussel spouts ever were at Craft. I'm not sure how they were prepared but they are the best. Does anyone know how Craft prepares them?

            If the vegetarians aren't vegans, try steaming whole sprouts, then tossing in brown butter and finishing with a few drops of vinegar. I can eat a whole plateful prepared this way.

              Hi,
              I love the rich nutty flavor of Brussel Sprouts roasted in Olive Oil, Garlic Powder or Fresh Garlic and Salt to taste. If desired add some toasted Pine Nuts and Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese. yummy!

                Just made a batch today, oven roasted sprouts that were tossed with olive oil, honey and soy sauce. They got beautifully caramelized and yummy.

                  I usually roast my sprouts very simply with olive oil and salt (and made a big batch last weekend) but this sounds sooo good! I'll definitely try it next time. Any specific proportions or just to taste? I cut mine in half, were yours whole?

                    HI,

                    Nope I roasted them whole - but cutting wouldn't be out of the question - I have to admit, they were really really good.
