12 Ways to Cook With Brussels Sprouts Beyond Just Roasting Them

Brussels sprouts are a fantastic veggie that's high in fiber and protein and super versatile. Yet most people just stick to roasting them with some olive oil and lemon, as well as herbs and spices. (And that yummy charred texture is amazing, too, so we get the appeal.) However, there are so many other ways to enjoy Brussels sprouts. From shredding them, pureeing for dips and soups, and stuffing them into eggs, Brussels sprouts are nearly as versatile as you are creative.

For example, you can add shaved Brussels sprouts to a frittata with other veggies like spinach, butternut squash, turkey bacon, and cheese. Frittatas are a fun and easy make-ahead breakfast or brunch that you can pack a lot of veggies into for added nutrition, says Maggie Michalczyk, MS, RD.

Or you can make a breakfast hash with shaved Brussels sprouts and half the amount of potatoes. "Their texture will go with the potatoes perfectly, and you'll be getting extra vitamin C and fiber," Michalczyk says.

You can use Brussels sprouts in tacos in place of shredded lettuce. "Or toss with roasted veggies and any type of grain for a seasonal side dish that helps you to get more veggies at any get-together or holiday party," she says.

You can even use sprouts as toppings for pizza. "Brussels sprouts pair really well with cheese and bread, so make them the star of pizza night," says Natalie Rizzo, MS, RD. They can also be blended into dips, soups, and smoothies. "Instead of throwing a handful of kale or spinach into a smoothie, try raw shredded Brussels sprouts. If you combine them with sweet fruit, like banana or mango, you won't even know they are in there," says Rizzo.

Interested in playing around with this fun veggie? Here are 12 Brussels sprouts recipes to get you started.

You can make a delicious, rich, and creamy gratin for the ultimate comfort food. By baking the Brussels sprouts in cheese, heavy cream, and bacon, this gratin is thick and decadent.

Fried Brussels Sprouts

Instead of roasting Brussels sprouts, you can fry them, which will give them that crispy texture that's the perfect side for a piece of steak or pork. Or you can even pair with a fried egg or use in hash for breakfast. And a tip? Add about 2 tablespoons sugar simply to soften the taste, along with bacon for that meaty, chewy mouthfeel.
