I owe brussels sprouts an apology.
When I first went paleo about five years ago, I committed to cooking with one new vegetable a week. My dad has always been a picky eater, so there were a ton of things I never tried as a child. Also, this was 2010, so it was before kale got super popular.
Brussels sprouts were one of those things that I never tried AND never wanted to try. My mother made them every Thanksgiving because she and my grandma like them, but nothing about them was appealing. However, eating paleo introduced me to tons of foods I never knew I loved (like cabbage and cauliflower), so I figured, why not Brussels sprouts?
Well. I made a Brussels sprouts recipe from a Paleo site that had NEVER failed me. Bacon was even involved. And it was a spectacular fail. The dish came out technically fine, but I still had such a strong dislike for the poor lil sprouts, I could not eat it.
Fast forward to 2015, and I have finally found a way that I LOVE eating these mini cabbages. It is similar to my kale chips recipe, and the only way I have found that I like the texture of Brussels sprouts!
