@Geee also suggests....

 

Clean the outside leaves off of the brussel sprouts and any of the bottom stems that are tough, then tosses them in a plastic bag with salt and pepper and olive oil - baking at 400 for 40 minutes, tossing a couple of times during. That's it. They turn out kind of browned and I like them that way.

That looks good and easy! My kind of cooking these days.

Yum, that looks good @Rheo. I might even turn out to be a real fan of brussel sprouts

I am not a huge fan of Brussels Sprouts either but Rheo's recipe does look good.

NCT and our son love them!! So he has come up with a way that pleases us all when we want them other than whole - which we do most often.

 

First he slices fresh Brussels Sprouts into slaw like strips.

Or just halve each sprout - which he actually likes better.

Then in a skillet put olive oil and pancetta slices. Cook the pancetta. Place it aside for later.

In pan drippings quickly sauté sliced shallot. Then add B.Ss and cook until tender and lightly browned.

At the end crumble on the pancetta and serve.
