Grilled Brussels Sprouts

Grilled Brussels sprouts are a great way to enjoy this healthy vegetable. To make these healthy vegetables even more tasty, you can precook them first. The sprouts can be pre-cooked by blanching them in boiling water for 5 minutes, steaming them, or microwaving them. The outer leaves should turn golden brown and they are ready to grill.

Grilled Brussels sprouts are charred on the grill and then tossed with a honey-lemon dressing. The dish can be served hot, at room temperature, or cold. This dish makes an ideal side dish for summertime barbeques. It also pairs well with pasta.

Brussels sprouts are often seasoned with salt, onion powder, dry mustard powder, and garlic. You can also use lemon zest and parmesan cheese to enhance the flavor. These sprouts are easy to prepare and taste great! A great way to serve these healthy foods is by grilling them on a skewer.

Before grilling Brussels sprouts, remove the ends of their stem. If the leaves are loose, they will burn on the grill. Sprouts can also be grilled whole or cut into quarters. Depending on how much you want to eat, you may want to cook them for 8 to 10 minutes. You should also turn them over halfway through the cooking process to prevent them from steaming.

You can also cook your Brussels sprouts in advance and add them to the grill when serving. Sprouts can also be prepared in a foil packet for convenience. Once you grill them, they are a healthy side dish that is bursting with flavor. They go well with grilled chicken breast or salmon. To make your Brussels sprouts even more delicious, you can add a sprinkle of parmesan or cracked pepper.
