    💭 Frequently Asked Questions

    Here are some questions (and answers!) readers often ask about this Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Cranberries recipe.

    How do you prepare Brussel sprouts before cooking?

    Start by trimming the ends off, and discard any of the outer leaves that are yellowed.

    Should you wash Brussel sprouts before cooking?

    Always wash your Brussels sprouts with cold water before cooking.

    How do you take the bitterness out of Brussels sprouts?

    Brussels sprouts contain an acidic compound that is released during cooking. Using a paring knife to cut the Brussels sprouts in half. This will not only help release some of that bitterness, but it also helps give more surface area to each Brussels sprout which helps with caramelization while roasting.
