Most peoples' first experience with Brussels sprouts is unpleasant. In the past they were often steamed or cooked in the microwave with little to no flavor and were soggy when served. I always thought they were gross until I learned a few different ways to cook them, like roasted and sauteed. I had never tried grilling them until today- it was perfect grilling weather and I didn't really have anything else in the house to grill. They came out perfect... crispy and full of flavor. Not your mom's Brussels sprouts! This recipe would work well with broccoli too.
Recipe
1 lb Brussels sprouts, stemmed and cut into bite-sized pieces
2 T olive oil
2 T minced garlic
1/2 T coarse-ground sea salt
Place all ingredients in a plastic zip-top bag and toss to coat sprouts evenly with oil and seasonings. Place in a grill-safe basket and place basket directly over flame in charcoal grill (or a gas grill on med-high heat). Grill for about 15 minutes, stirring a few times during cooking, or until sprouts begin to char.
