As a matter of fact it DOES have to do with the brussels sprout itself! About 20 years ago brussels sprout farmers started breeding out some of the compounds that made the sprouts so bitter, and so today we have a much more mellow sprout that more people find enjoyable!

Not gonna lie Dude. I was raised in a poor, food desert home and was barely exposed to more than overcooked cheap steak and chicken mcnuggets. Almost 40 now and really enjoying my culinary journey and my health journey (not saying THESE sprouts are healthy LOL), but dang am I making all three of these this week. To the local grocery store with me! I'd rather eat elevated sprouts than resort to nuggs any day y'all!

Yo I made the oven roasted maple and sherry glazed sprouts tonight and also did the bacon and fried leaves. The whole table agreed it was the best brussels sprouts they’d ever had. Thanks bro. You’re making me look good.

The blanching step is the key step. It allows the salt to penetrate through the sprout and adds so much flavor. Then making them crispy finishes it. I eat the roasted version all the time and it’s hands down as good as roasted potatoes.

Go for the sherry and maple combination this year on the Brussels sprouts my friends! HAPPY COOKING!!

Your brussel sprout videos have totally changed how my family and friends and myself relate to the sprout. They’ve gone from tolerated to treasured. Thanks man.

I've been trying to recreate roasted brussel sprouts that I had at a very high end restaurant a few months ago and none of the recipes I tried on the internet have lived up to that preparation. The base method you have here not only lived up to that preparation but is even better. Thanks so much!

[koolburn]

Love your recipes and content. I always look forward to the signature opening/closing, music, comedy and learning. You deserve more subs!

[royroberts]

I've made brussels sprouts and bacon as a Thanksgiving side for the last 20 years. Delish. Your process will be adopted for cooking my sprouts next week, blanch, bake and finish with a bit of butter and bacon. Very yum.

Would recommend starting with diced pancetta and finishing with a sauce that’s made of equal parts balsamic, Dijon mustard, and olive oil. It’s killer!!

[Eclyptical]

The best brussel sprouts ive ever had were blanched, cooked in an air fryer, and then tossed with honey and balsamic. I will definitely have to give those other sweet and sour combinations and try!

[ginnaanselmo]

As a kid, you couldn"t pay me enought to eat a Brussel sprout…even if it was dipped in chocolate and fried in bacon fat! Lol but now, at age 60, i cannot wait to try every one of these recipes 😋

[NolaDeb]

Last years air dried turkey, broken down and baked. Crazy good. Thank you sir.

[NickTarterOKC]

I love Brussels sprouts. They are so good when properly cooked.

[redbeardthepink]

If I'm processing sprouts, I like to freeze the scraps and use them in stock. Sprouts add a ton of great flavor to stocks and broths.

Made them today for Christmas, they were delicious. Thanks for posting 🎄

I had a honey sriracha version that was amazing. Really appreciate you sharing the method, that’s the real secret!!
