You don't necessarily need to fancy them up with a lot of spice. They are after all, mini cabbages. I would be curious if those who are brussel sprout-aphobes also feel the same way about cabbage or its cousin, cauliflower? All you need is to steam them, add some olive oil, some basil leaves or rosemary if you like, and butter to taste. Since they are nutty in flavor, let them speak for themselves, naturally! BTW, I'm am biased, as I've loved brussel sprouts all of my life and have continued as a big fan throughout adult hood. You know what is unique about brussel sprouts?

And Liz, that recipe looks fantastic. The Asian dressing is an interesting twist. You'll have to tell me how it turns out. A cook off might be in order...

I have converted a bunch of brussel sprout-haters into lovers by serving them roasted sprouts. They're so much better than boiled or steamed ones (yuck!). To push this recipe "over the top" for holidays, I add diced pancetta. Couldn’t agree more. I have converted a bunch of brussel sprout-haters into lovers by serving them roasted sprouts.
