We all have those go-to vegetable side dishes that we put on repeat throughout the year, like green bean recipes or broccoli dishes (and don’t even get us started on potato sides). But Brussels sprouts are one of those veggies that can be controversial for some. Maybe you don’t have good memories of eating Brussels sprouts as a kid or you’ve never experienced the extra-crispy crunch from air fried Brussels sprouts before, but one look at this list of Brussels sprouts recipes will change your mind. Not to mention, scientists have actually figured out a way to make the cruciferous vegetable less bitter compared to in the past. Phew! Now that we know Brussels sprouts are worth a shot, check out this list of Brussels sprouts recipes.

Try them raw in a fall salad or crisp them up in the air fryer for a dish your family will never forget! If you’re anything like Ree, you might want to add them to your menu of Thanksgiving sides. "If there's anything better than roasted Brussels sprouts, I can't think of what it is," she says. And if that wasn't enough, we’ve even included some creative ideas for turning Brussels sprouts into healthy breakfast recipes, pizza toppings, and a creative filling for tacos!
