When making grilled Brussel Sprouts we use the small to medium size Brussel Sprouts. If you use large Brussel sprouts, they will need to cook longer on the grill.

After placing the Brussel Sprouts that have been seasoned in foil, grill for about 20 minutes or until tender. Then seasoned and grill for about 3 more minutes.

How to Trim Brussel Sprouts:

Before cooking the Brussel Sprouts on the grill, make sure you cut the ends off and then slice in half. They cook better and trimming the ends off removes the tough part.

Make sure to remove the outer leaves that have brown spots.

How do you keep Brussel Sprouts from getting Soggy on the Grill:

When preparing your grill, make sure that it is set to medium high heat. If your temperature is set to low, it makes the Brussel sprouts soft. Cooking on high heat allows the juices from the vegetables to caramelize.

Combing the seasoning with the Brussel Sprouts gives them so much flavor. These Brussel Sprouts cook tender and crispy.

FAQs

Why do you soak brussel sprouts before cooking? ›

Not only can soaking make the centers more malleable, but the water that's absorbed into them will create a steaming action, whether you choose to roast, saute, or make your Brussels sprouts in your air fryer. The steam can help to ensure the cooking is even throughout the Brussels sprout.

Is it better to roast brussel sprouts whole or cut in half? ›

Place the sprouts cut-side down: Trim and halve the sprouts and roast them with their cut side against the baking sheet. The cut side will caramelize beautifully while the outer leaves crisp. Keep the leaves: Don't discard the outer leaves that fall away as you cut the sprouts.

What meat goes best with brussel sprouts? ›

When we think about which meats go with Brussels sprouts, bacon usually comes to mind first. Upgrade that to prosciutto, add poultry and fish to the list, and leave room on the menu for steak.

Do you cut the ends off of Brussels sprouts before you cook them? ›

Individual sprouts: Brussels sprouts sold by the pound are what you find most often at the market. They need to be trimmed of their dry ends and yellowed or damaged leaves before halving and cooking.

Do sprouts need to be soaked? ›

Soaking: Think of soaking as the initial step before actually sprouting a legume, grain, nut or seed. Many people soak beans before cooking to cut down on cooking time and reduce compounds that may cause gasiness in our digestive systems (although it's not completely necessary, it's definitely recommended).

Why won't my brussel sprouts get crispy? ›

Not using enough oil.

The other secret to ridiculously crispy Brussels sprouts is tossing them in plenty of oil. We like to use olive oil, but plain vegetable oil is great too. If the sprouts are well-coated, they'll caramelize and char instead of simply softening in the oven.

Why boil brussel sprouts before roasting? ›

Your first step should always be to blanch the brussels sprouts. This is basically when they get submerged in boiling water just for a few minutes, not until they're fully cooked, but just enough to take away some of the bitterness. Blanching also softens them and preserves their beautiful bright green color.

Why are my roasted brussel sprouts mushy? ›

Moisture is the enemy of crispiness.

There's nothing wrong with soft and chewy Brussels, but if your goal is the type of crispy Brussels that they're serving at your favorite bistro you MUST thoroughly dry the surface of the sprouts before sautéing and/or roasting them. If they are wet they will steam instead of crisp.

How long should you soak brussel sprouts in salt water? ›

Contributed by Whole Foods Market, Inc. To prepare, soak Brussels sprouts in a bowl of cold, salted water for 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 400°F.

How do you get the bitterness out of brussel sprouts? ›

A splash of lemon juice, or even apple cider vinegar, works wonders on bitter sprouts. Another key ingredient is fat, which helps Brussels sprouts to crisp up.

How do you soak brussel sprouts for bugs? ›

Brussels Sprouts

Get them ready for your plate by placing the sprouts in a bowl filled with warm water and let them soak for about 10 minutes — this will flush out the dirt and any lurking pests.

Can I leave uncooked brussel sprouts in water overnight? ›

Brussels sprouts should be kept unwashed until use; any excess water or moisture can cause molding. If your vegetables come home moist because they were spritzed in the grocery store, pat them dry with a paper towel.
