Until about 5 years ago, I had never tasted a brussels spout. My mother is terrified of them, no doubt from growing up in the 50's and 60's when people just boiled them to death. Let's work together to change the brussels sprouts' maligned reputation! They are best when seared or roasted, so that they get all browned and crisp. And hey, when all else fails, the sure fire way to make something taste better is to just add bacon. This recipe couldn't be easier. It's truly a one pan wonder! Great for a hectic holiday...you can prep everything in advance and just toss and bake while the turkey is resting. —Meredith Shanley
