That's cause Brussel sprouts were bitter tasting ass in grandma's day. They have literally been made to taste better in our lifetime.

By the heroic efforts of a Dutch scientist that was sick of people hating brussel sprouts...well... That's my headcannon anyway.

In the 1990s, Dutch scientist Hans van Doorn identified the chemicals that make Brussels sprouts bitter: sinigrin and progoitrin.[11] This enabled Dutch seed companies to cross-breed archived low-bitterness varieties with modern high-yield varieties, over time producing a significant increase in the popularity of the vegetable.[12]

Oooooo I owe a lot to Hans van Doorn... I hated brussel sprouts so much when I was a child, I thought it was because I always had them boiled. So modern ones are yummier than they used to.

At first I read his name as Hans Van Doom. Much cooler

This is a good recipe. I make it frequently though usually with shredded parmesan vs grated, and sometimes with shredded pepper jack

Strange that the recipe says to quarter the Brussel sprouts but then shows pics where they're halfed or maybe even whole instead.

Make sure cut sides are facing down so they get nicely browned. Same for roasted broccoli. Also, black pepper generously, after baking so it doesn't burn.

Thanks for the tips!

Side subject, but I'm half asleep and when I got the notification of your comment I didn't notice which community/post you were commenting on and also thought you said "cat sides." I was like, WTF?! LOL

Thanks again.
