Same with Brussel sprout. My step-dad would boil them. Tastes like a soggy sulfur fart. But cut them in half, toss them in a bit of oil, salt and pepper, roast them until crispy in the oven with, and they're delicious. Oddly sweet, even. Try with other seasonings to enhance further.

Actually it's best to roast, then add the pepper. Roasting burns the pepper.

You can also steam them (without the oil), fry them (with oil), or put them on a grill (oil optional)

Boiling is just not a good way to cook veggies, it's just the lazy way

Lightly drizzle some balsamic vinaigrette on them before the oven

Yes. The crispy bits get caramelized. It's amazing.

Some might say that it makes them less healthy, but a very light drizzle of honey before you cook them, and it becomes one of the best things you'll ever eat

I love getting the steam bags of sprouts. So easy to steam them and then toss them in some oil and spices. Super easy and very tasty.
