WHAT ARE BRUSSELS SPROUTS?
Brussels sprouts are a small compact bud of a variety of cabbage. Brussels sprouts are named after the fact that they were cultivated in Belgium in the 16th century which is why they’re called Brussels sprouts and not brussel sprouts.
HOW TO MAKE BRUSSELS SPROUTS DELICIOUS
To avoid the bitterness of Brussels sprouts, I recommend roasting them in the oven. Roasting them with some oil causes the Brussels sprouts to caramelize and gives it a sweeter and nutty flavour. Pair that with this amazing Peanut Thai Chili flavour combo and you’ve got yourself a winner!
