Over the last year I found a love of brussels sprouts that has left me wondering why I never enjoyed them when I was younger. When cooked right, they are both sweet and tender.
I have been experimenting with different ways on how to cook my brussels sprouts and just last night I think I made them better than I ever have. You don’t need many ingredients, just a few to bring out the delicious flavor. These were a huge hit in my house that my son even asked for seconds. WHAT?! Yep, they are that good!
