Notes
Chef Jenn's Tips
- Look for Brussels sprouts that are tight and closed at the stem end. They're less likely to be buggy.
- Buy sprouts that are all about the same size for even cooking.
- This recipe won't work with frozen sprouts - they're just too watery.
- Change up the flavor with pepper bacon, or add a bit of heat with a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- Don't be afraid to cook these sprouts a bit longer to get them as tender as you like them.
