    I love them!  I cut the end off and wash them then boil or steam until they just begin to get soft.  Not mushy.  Then drain and add a bit of either butter or olive oil along with garlic powder, salt and pepper.  Delish!

    I also like to cook them then cut into halves or quarters and toss with shredded chicken, butter, and lemon juice.

    Here's how:

    Open the lid of the bin.

    Hurl the sprouts into the bin with a cry of savage glee.

    Close the lid. This post was edited by Slartibartfast at June 12, 2017 7:46 AM MDT

    You had me at the "savage glee" part; I was bent over in gut-ripping laughter.

    Well throwing them out is hilarious, but that line of "savage glee" is a bit over the top for GUT RIPPING Laughter.    I'm just saying.  Gut rip laugh over the whole thing, not just savage glee.

    I found the entire post funny, the savage glee iced the cake for me. I think I ruptured my spleen. Hey, you're a medicine woman, are you not?

    Cover them in chocolate and deep-fry them. Oh, wait. That doesn't help.

    I'm with Thrifty, Veena.  They are very strong flavored, so the best thing is just show them off to their advantage and do butter or olive oil and salt and pepper.  I like them on the soft side. 

    They are a tad bitter, but in a good green way.

    This recipe looks interesting too.  I haven't used it. 

    Ingredients
    1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts
    1 teaspoon salt

    Iodized Salt,
    4 tablespoons butter, melted
    4 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

    4 tablespoons dried bread crumbs
    1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
    1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

      Black Pepper, 3 oz
    1/4 teaspoon seasoning salt
    Add all ingredients to list

    Directions
    Wash and trim Brussels sprouts. Cut an "X" about 1/8 inch deep in the stem of the sprouts (this helps cook the sprouts more evenly and quickly).
    In a medium-size pot, cover Brussels sprouts with water; add 1 teaspoon salt and bring to boil. Cover and simmer for 6 minutes or until tender; drain. Be careful not to overcook sprouts.
    Place sprouts in a small casserole dish. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of melted butter over the sprouts and mix well to coat.
    Combine Parmesan cheese, dried bread crumbs, garlic powder, black pepper, seasoning salt, and remaining butter and mix well; sprinkle mixture over sprouts.
    Heat sprouts under broiler (about 4 inches away from heat) for about 5 minutes or until crumb mixture is lightly browned. Serve hot.

    Heat oven to 400 degrees F.  Drizzle a little bacon grease on the sprouts.  Roast for 10 or 15 minutes.
