Smoky Brussels Sprout Frittata

This hearty vegetarian frittata is all about the interplay of flavor.

9 / 30

Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad with Apples, Hazelnuts & Brown Butter Dressing

This salad takes a little more time to make than the usual shaved sprouts salad, but the extra work is worth the flavor and texture combination of brown butter vinaigrette, Brussels sprouts, apple, and hazelnuts.

10 / 30

Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Parmesan

Halfway through roasting Brussels sprouts how you normally would — high heat and on a preheated baking sheet for optimal caramelization — you’ll shower the pan with a whole cup of Parmesan cheese.

11 / 30

Bagna Cauda Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Tossing crispy roasted Brussels sprouts with bagna cauda — made by simmering lots and lots of garlic with anchovies in olive oil and butter — infuses them with savory flavor.
