Baby Brussels Sprouts

Store unwashed in a breathable bag in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator.

Good source of Vitamin C and Vitamin K.

Trim off the very end of the stem before cooking.

For more even cooking, cut larger sprouts in half.

Roasting brings out their natural sweetness; toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper and roast at 400°F (200°C) until tender and slightly caramelized.

Bacon or pancetta

Balsamic glaze

Garlic and lemon

Parmesan cheese

Nuts like almonds or walnuts

Maple syrup

Overcooking them, which can lead to a mushy texture and a bitter taste.

Boiling them; this method tends to leach out flavor and nutrients.
