    My mom boiled brussels sprouts and I hated them. As an adult who knows to roast them, they’ve become one of my favorite vegetables.

      My mom’s cooking was terrible in her 30s aka my childhood. It really has improved so much since. Guess with raising kids she just did not want to bother putting in the effort just to end up with something delicious which your kids refuse to eat anyway.

      the only problem is the amount of oil to produce the crispy brussel sprouts kind of undoes the health they bring to a diet.

      at least the amount of oil restaurants will drown them in.

        Do it at home with an air fryer. Almost no oil, if any, required. Just make quarters and add some seasoning

        I haven’t had a brussel sprout in idk how long, and have no idea how they were cooked, but could you avoid this with air frying?

          absolutely but restaurants always do it their own way with too much oil and salt.
