    Brussels Sprouts

    I'm looking for a good smoked Brussels sprouts recipe.

    My opinion? There is no such thing. Much like cauliflower or broccoli there's just no way to make them taste good. I'd like to know who deemed these things edible in the first place. I mean, did some caveman happen across a wild growing, brain looking cauliflower plant and think "I could eat that"? No, to me they're all inedible plants, I'll take a vitamin instead.

      Cut the brussel sprouts in half. Coat with a little EVOO, Black Pepper, Salt, and any other seasonings that hit your fancy.

      Cook them on your grill over indirect heat at 400 F. Flip them around every 15 minutes. They'll be done between 30 and 45 minutes. I usually let mine go 45 minutes as I like the leaves on the outside a bit blackened.

      I HATED brussel sprouts for most of my life, but a buddy talked me into trying this, and now I love them.

        Love me some roasted sprouts, dijon and/or whole grain mustard is good too.

        What Willy said, we always hit 'em with balsamic vinegar right before serving.

        Balsamic is da bomb on Brussels sprouts.

      I do them as David Parrish says most times. But if I have more time I use the following recipe...
      Letting the chanterelles for these grilled brussels sprouts cook undisturbed is the best way to get a good sear.


      As for cauliflower (since it was also mentioned), I recently found this recipe/method for it. Really good and nice presentation as well in a lodge pan.
      This striking dish has become a modern classic, as chefs around the world are working out new ways to push vegetables into the center of the plate It makes a lovely vegetarian main course after a pasta intro, or a gorgeous side dish for lamb or fish Omit the anchovies in the sauce, and it becomes entirely vegetarian; replace the butter with more olive oil, and it turns vegan

          I grilled some Cauliflower "steaks" a few weeks back...and they were alright!

          Maybe I can find the pic.

        I can't wait to try the Brussel Sprouts on the Grill!

        Here are the Cauliflower Steaks. They were fun and pretty tasty.

          Nice, grilled veggies are great, zucchini are one of my favorites too.

        What Pit Boss said. I do that in my oven on a cookie sheet, single layer... except I don't flip. I like to add a wee dash of balsamic vinegar and lemon juice along with the oil, coat them in a bowl. Those two together add a subtle zing that is so good on them. I taste a couple after they're done and see if they need more salt, sometimes they do, then resalt the whole pan

          Some maple syrup with the Brussels sprouts works well and I like Gram Marsala spice on cauliflower.

            Koy Schoppe I love Brussels Sprouts, and that recipe looks like it will take it to another level. I have never grilled them, but I like them most ways I have had them, especially grilled. Actually, the only vegetable I wont eat is beets. They taste like dirt.

              I'm with you there. Worse yet, my parents were/are obsessed with pickled beets. The deep purple sweet vinegar tasting chunks of disgustingness that come in a mason jar. My wife loves them too. 3 people closest in the world to me, yet I have to seriously wonder about them.

              My wife really likes pickled beets. I've never tried them. I'm sure you are spot on, Huskee

            Beets are GREAT! Boil or roast 'em, peel 'em, slice 'em, toss 'em in a skillet with some honey and OJ. Heat and serve.

              The only part of that I agree with is toss 'em.

                I'm going to Sous Vide them and then put them in a hot skillet to brown them. I like to add some bacon bites, onions and balsamic vinegar.
