When I was young the only time we ever ate Brussels Sprouts is on Thanksgiving. Frankly, I never liked them. Yet, every Thanksgiving when I became an adult, I had to have them our table. I still did not like them. Then, one day, I read this recipe and fell in love with it. When I switched our Thanksgiving table to this Brussels sprout recipe everyone fell in love with it. Tip: this can be made the day ahead or hours earlier and reheated in the microwave or in an oven covered before serving.
