I know I'm not the only one that thought that Brussel sprouts were gross growing up. My mom used to buy them frozen in a box and inside that box was a bag. A bag of whole Brussel sprouts incapsulated in a frozen margarine like sauce. She would drop the bag into boiling water for about 20 minutes, then open the bag and plop them onto our plate. It was horrific and totally not the representation that Brussel sprouts deserve lol. Once I became vegan I had to start experimenting with vegetables of all kind. Once I discovered that the Brussel sprouts that I grew up hating didn't have to exist anymore, I became hooked on them. Roasting them is one of the easiest ways to make them. It makes them tender and delicious but roasting them with fennel, red onion and herbs takes them to the next level.
