Grilled Brussels Sprouts


Hello! It's been a while and I am glad to be back. I am finally getting back into the groove of things and getting back into the kitchen, slowly but surely.
I found this great recipe for grilled brussel sprouts on Food52 blog and thought I would share it with you. Until we meet again, enjoy this recipe!!
Serves 2
  • 12 small to medium Brussels Sprouts
  • 1-2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2-1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2-1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • 1/2-1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2-1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2-1 teaspoon celery salt
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
  1. First, clean the sprouts. Trim the cut ends back without interferring with the leaves, and peel any withered leaves off the bulb. Score the bottoms; one cut will suffice.
  2. Then place the sprouts in boiling, salted water for no more than five minutes. NO MORE!
  3. Drain, drizzle with oil and toss in a bowl with the salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder and celery salt.
  4. When the sprouts are nice and coated, place on a hot grill (but keep the bowl handy), turning every four minutes for a total of twelve minutes.
  5. Remove from the grill back to the seasoning bowl and toss to coat with any remaining seasoning.
  6. If desired, add any of the remaining ingredient (lemon zest)
