How to Choose the Best Brussels Sprouts

If you want to get the best Brussels sprouts, buy them when they're at their peak from September to mid-February.

When selecting your Brussels sprouts, choose sprouts that have a darker green color and no obvious discoloration like yellow or black spots. The leaves should be tight and the sprouts should feel firm.

If the Brussels sprouts are wet and squishy - avoid them. Or if they have a pungent, acrid smell, they'd probably gone bad.

Tips for these Roasted Brussels Sprouts

• Add some fun toppings to these sprouts - we love to add fresh pomegranate seeds, goat cheese, shredded parmesan, dukkah spice blend, chopped pistachios, balsamic reduction, or crispy onions to our Brussels sprouts. Get creative and add whatever topping you'd like!
• Line your baking sheet - don't skip lining your baking sheet with parchment or a Silpat. It makes cleanup much easier and it keeps the sprouts from sticking to the pan.
• Using frozen sprouts - you can use frozen Brussels sprouts for this recipe, BUT you need to thaw them completely, pat them dry, and add a few more minutes to the cooking time to get them really crispy. When possible, try to use fresh sprouts.
• Storing - this dish will keep in the refrigerator for up to three days, in an airtight container.
• Reheating - If possible, don't use a microwave to reheat these Brussels sprouts. They tend to get soggy. Reheat them in the oven at 350 degrees for 3 to 5 minutes.
