Trimming a Brussels sprout takes about 30 seconds per sprout. For a pound of sprouts, that’s maybe five minutes of work. In return, you get a dish that converts sprout-haters into sprout-lovers. You get crispy edges, tender centers, and zero woody surprises.
So next time you’re staring at a bag of those little green orbs, don’t panic. Just grab a knife, channel your inner grandma, and give them a trim. You’ve got this. And your dinner guests? They’ll have seconds. Maybe even thirds—and they won’t even know why it’s so good. But you’ll know.
And that’s the best kind of kitchen secret.
