Brussels sprouts often suffer from a bad reputation, but this vegetarian side dish is designed to win over even the most persistent sceptics. By parboiling the sprouts before a quick sauté, they retain a vibrant colour and a pleasant, firm texture rather than becoming soft. Infused with aromatic garlic, a hint of warming nutmeg, and a touch of dried chilli flakes, this preparation highlights the natural sweetness of the vegetable while adding a savoury, sophisticated depth of flavour.
Finished with a generous coating of freshly grated Parmesan, these sprouts are an excellent addition to a Sunday roast or a festive dinner table. The salty cheese creates a lacy, golden crust that pairs perfectly with the heat of the chilli. It is a simple, healthy way to elevate a seasonal staple into something truly delicious that the whole family will enjoy.

How to make Brussels Sprouts for People Who Think They Hate Brussels Sprouts
Back to contentsTrim the ends off the Brussels sprouts and remove and discard any discolored outer leaves. If sprouts are large (more than 1 inch in diameter), cut them in quarters lengthwise through the stem end. If smaller, cut them in half.
Bring 1.9L of water to boil, add salt and the sprouts. Boil the sprouts uncovered until they are just crunchy-tender, about 5 minutes. Do not overcook them. Drain the sprouts well.
Wipe and dry the pot and heat the olive oil in it. Add the red pepper flakes and garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add the sprouts and nutmeg and sauté for another minute. Mix in the Parmesan cheese and toss the sprouts until the cheese melts.
