If I were the dad I'd get tricked once... then keep the evil one and use it as weight comparison point for all others. I don't need to unwrap any. The light ones, if there are any, are the good ones. I'd do that while looking in her eyes grinning knowing how long this little ordeal took for her to make.

I'd then buy bacon to eat the Brussels sprout, they aren't actually that bad, just stinky to boil.

You don't boil them, you fry them in a skillet with some butter and fresh rosemary.

I coat them in olive oil, salt, ross them on a baking pan at 425 for some time that I can't specifically recall. Even my kids love them, and I certainly do. My favorite are definitely fried of, super crispy, but I like to think they're marginally healthier baked.

Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew...

I like to throw a bullion cube in there too.

I'll definitely be giving this a try soon, but baked for the win. So crispy and goooood

A garlic cheese sauce is my go to and I have yet to receive a single complaint.

My dad got around my absolute hate for brussels sprouts with this: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/216806/roasted-apples-and-brussels-sprouts/

The apples really enhance the taste, imo
