We love Brussel sprouts on the grill, and this summer, why not try making grilled brussel sprouts? They are a wonderful side dish that are packed with vitamins and do not taste bitter, so they are a great canvas for adding flavor to your dinner. Read on to learn how to make grilled brussel sprouts! Also, make sure to use a high-quality vegetable oil and sprinkle some salt and pepper on them.
Trim the stalk on each brussel sprout and cut an X shape onto the bottom of each one (top picture). Do not cut all the way. This will ensure even cooking in the middle of the brussel sprout.
Boil for 10 minutes in salted water. Drain and let cool in an ice bath (this will help keep the bright green color).
Using the same cut as when you cut an X, cut the brussel sprout in half. Drain on a paper towel.
Heat up your grill or grill pan and brush the brussel sprout with oil on each side. Place the brussel sprout on the the grill and grill for about 2 minutes on each side. Sprinkle with sea salt, and enjoy!
