Family Time in the Kitchen:Creating Recipes with My Son

Over the last few years, my son has developed an interest in cooking. His talent is pretty impressive. For this recipe, he wanted to make sweet and salty Brussels sprouts for dinner, so we created this healthy dinner recipe together.

We’ve been so busy lately that we haven’t been eating as healthily as I would like.

We often get home late and eat whatever leftovers or quick foods we can. When we went to the grocery store the other night, I picked up a bag of pre-washed, trimmed Brussels sprouts.

When my son saw the bag, he was excited. Yes, he loves Brussels sprouts.

Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Maple Syrup and Soy Sauce Recipe Created by Mom and Son

We worked together to come up with a roasted Brussels sprouts recipe. When I asked what we should use for seasoning, he suggested making roasted Brussels sprouts with maple syrup and soy sauce.

He wanted to make a sweet and savory Brussels sprouts dish. So we made Maple Soy Brussel Sprouts.

In a bowl, we mixed the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, maple syrup, and soy sauce. After giving it a taste, we put theBrussels sprouts in our small Cuisinart toaster oven set at 400 degrees.

You can also use an air fryer, but shorten the cooking time and check on them often.

Naked Nutrition Whey Protein

I use Naked Nutrition Whey Protein and I love its minimal ingredients and natural taste. It's great in smoothies and has no artificial flavor like other brands. Highly recommend!

Pros:

  • Minimal ingredients, reducing unnecessary additives.
  • Versatile usage in drinks and meals.
  • Natural, non-overpowering flavor.

Cons:

  • Potential weight gain if consumed outside of workout routines.
  • Packaging might give the illusion of less product due to powder settling.
  • Limited flavor variety may require mixing with other flavors to avoid monotony.

FAQs

Why are my roasted brussel sprouts not crispy? ›

Why Are My Brussel Sprouts Not Crispy? Spread them out into a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet to avoid overcrowding. If they're too close together, they'll steam instead of roast which stops the crisping process.

Should you rinse brussel sprouts before roasting? ›

How do I prepare brussel sprouts? To prepare brussel sprouts, you should rinse them well or even soak them if you have enough time. Trim the bottoms and outer leaves off, then cut them in half to prep them for roasting.

Is it better to parboil brussel sprouts before roasting? ›

Beyond bitterness, parboiling your sprouts can speed up cooking times, softening the leaves to tender, right down to their core (without turning them to mush) and making it easy for you to focus on perfectly crispy and caramelized sprouts in less time in the oven, sauté pan, or out on the grill.

How do you get the bitterness out of roasted 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. This is why it's so popular to render bacon fat and cook Brussels sprouts in it, then add the bacon bits back in at the end.

Do you cut Brussels sprouts in half before roasting? ›

Cut the bottom of each brussels sprout off (about 1/4" or less) and then slice in half lengthwise. Toss all ingredients and place in a single layer on a baking dish. Roast for 25 minutes or until brussels sprouts are slightly browned and tender throughout. Serve hot or cold.

Why are my roasted brussels sprouts tough? ›

Like soggy steamed Brussels, Brussels sprouts that are dry and chewy are no good either. This could be caused by using too little oil for roasting. You need a nice coating of oil—enough to make the heads shiny or if they're cut, enough oil to get inside the folds of some of the leaves.

Why do my Brussels sprouts get mushy in the oven? ›

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 do you keep roasted brussel sprouts from getting soggy? ›

BE GENEROUS WITH YOUR OLIVE OIL! These brussels sprouts will absorb the oil in order to get crispy, so don't be afraid to add a little extra olive oil on them as needed. If you liked this Crispy Roasted Brussels Sprouts recipe, check out some of the most popular side dish recipes on the blog!

Roasted Brussels Sprouts Serving Suggestions

Drizzle them with a bit of balsamic vinegar or lemon juice and toss them with feta or Parmesan cheese, herbs, red pepper flakes, and nuts or pepitas. Find my favorite lemon Parmesan seasoning in the recipe below, or head to this post for more variations!

Why do brussel sprouts smell bad when cooking? ›

Yes, according to the Los Angeles Times, Brussels sprouts inherited another gene that causes them to stink up your kitchen when you cook them. When you cook Brussels sprouts they give off a gas: hydrogen sulfide. And if you are the least bit sensitive to smells, it will make you want to hurl.

Why are my baked brussel sprouts mushy? ›

They are one of my favorite veggies in the whole wide world! When overcooked, Brussels sprouts turn mushy and release excess sulphur (the thing that makes cabbage and Brussels sprouts smell like cabbage and Brussels sprouts)—not good eats.

Why are my brussel sprouts not tight? ›

The usual problem with sprouts is that the soil in which they have grown was not firm enough. Sprouts like to grow in soil that is really well compacted and they will then form tight buttons. If the soil is too loose the buttons will be loose too.
