It’s Brussels sprouts season here in the Catskills! Whether you’re harvesting them from your garden or buying from a local farmer, here is a list of tips for the best-tasting Brussels sprouts:
- Look for bright green sprouts with compact leaves
- Different sizes have different flavors
- Larger Brussels sprouts can have more of a bitter taste and smaller sized Brussels sprouts have a sweeter flavor
- Trim the stem ends and cut them accordingly
- If you are roasting them, cut them in quarters or halves and if you’re shredding them leave them whole
- Roast them longer than expected
- Cook the sprouts until the leaves are browned for the sweetest flavor
- Brussels sprouts can also be tasty raw
- Mix the sprouts with a vinaigrette and let sit for 15 minutes for a tasty salad
