Raise your hand if you love Brussels sprouts!
Meeeeeetoo.
I love how they look like the most intricate, perfectly-formed baby cabbages when you slice them open. I love how they taste practically like candy after being roasted, butmaybelook forward the most to those charred little crispy leaves hangin’ out on the baking sheet. I love how they were “that vegetable” that our parents used to hate when they were served steamed back in the day, but love how they’ve made a comeback and now everyone’s obsessed.
I love them halved and roasted, I love them raw and shredded. I love them sprinkled onpizzas, I love them spooned intoavocado tacos. I love them tossed with vinaigrette in agood slaw, I love them coated inpesto with gnocchi. I’ve roasted them with a hundreddifferent seasoningsand toppings. But most of the time, I love themsimply roastedwith olive oil, salt and pepper.
Love ’em.
And so today, I thought I’d devote one of ourHow-To Tuesdayvideos to showing my favorite three ways to cut Brussels sprouts! Have you tried each of these before?

Most of the time I stick with these three basic methods — halved, shredded, and finely shredded (with the help of afood processor).
Now that I roast them, I love Brussel sprouts, too. One tip I picked up from someone is that the ‘bitter’ taste they can have is in the core. So, when I cut off the end, I just take my paring knife and remove some/most of that core before cutting in half. Seems to help!
