Tips and FAQ
Brussels sprouts are really good for you. They are high fiber, vitamins and nutrition and a great addition to your diet. When roasting be sure to place the cut side down. That’s how you get that wonderful caramelization!
How do you choose the best ones?
Sprouts are sold loose or on the stalk. Look for vegetables that are bright green and firm, avoid ones with limp or brown leaves.
Do brussel sprouts go bad?
Yes they can. When you bring them home they should be refrigerated immediately. They will spoil more quickly if left on the counter.
Store in the refrigerator with damp towel in a plastic bag in the vegetable drawer. Brussels sprouts can be refrigerated in a ventilated plastic bag for about a week.
Can I make this recipe with frozen brussel sprouts?
Actually you can! Thaw the sprouts completely and pat them dry. Season with the ranch dressing and pepper and bake as directed.
What is the best way to eat them?
I jokingly call myself the Brussel Sprout Queen! I say that because I really enjoy them, whether it’s in a salad or pan-fried, they are easy to make and delicious!
Can you freeze sprouts?
Once cooked they really don’t freeze well, they become squishy and soggy. They are best eaten fresh. When I’ve had success freezing them is when I’ve mixed them with a soup.
How to store and reheat
- Store – allow to cool completely and place in an airtight storage container. They will keep in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
- Reheat – preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 5-10 minutes until reheated and crispy
