Kate! Just curious, do you buy your Brussels sprouts fresh or frozen? (Or if both, do you find there's much difference?)
ReplyDeleteMm, that dinner looks so tasty!
I've never tried frozen brussels sprouts before, we always get ours fresh. I usually buy them in Chinatown whenever they look good and seem reasonably priced.
ReplyDeleteTo roast them I just give 'em a good rinse and peel off any dodgy outer leaves, then cut in half (or quarters for really big ones), toss with a minimal amount of evoo, add sea salt and freshly ground pepper, and spread on a foil-lined baking tray (for easier clean up). I used to cook them for ages at a lower temp, but recently discovered that they cook up really quickly (and to a perfect consistency!) at about 450 for 15ish minutes (depends on your oven, size of sprouts, how many are on the pan, etc.).
Do you use frozen ones? How do you cook them?
We usually use frozen ones. They seem to cook up fine if you boil/steam/defrost them in a pot on the stove with a little water (or otherwise follow cooking instructions on the bag). They're not as tasty as fresh from the garden, but surprisingly not too bad. I'll have to try some fresh from the grocery store; I sometimes see them in the produce dept and wonder about them!
