Years ago, Brussels sprouts were considered a controversial vegetable. It’s not just that times have changed–sprouts have changed too. The sprouts we consume now have fewer of the bitter compounds that made these vegetables unpopular in the past. Today, sprouts are a welcome addition to any plate. We love roasting them and serving them as a side dish or shaving them and eating them as a raw salad. Sometimes we’ll even get creative! Try our favorite recipes for Brussels sprouts, including cheesy pizzas and meaty pastas.
