Say goodbye to those Brussels sprouts from the days of old. These days, Brussels sprouts recipes are better than ever! Not only is the cruciferous vegetable less bitter compared to the past, but there are also tons of ways to get creative with Brussels sprouts that even picky eaters will love. Think: cheesy Brussels sprouts casserole, Brussels with maple and bacon, and a smashed Brussels sprouts recipe that's extra crispy! If you were skeptical about Brussels sprouts before, just wait until you try these delicious fall veggie recipes.

One of the best things about Brussels sprouts renaissance is all the different ways to make them: shredded, roasted, fried, or cooked on a skillet. 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 Drummond, 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, you’ll even find some creative ideas for turning Brussels sprouts into a seasonal breakfast hash, pizza toppings, and a creative filling for tacos!
