Garlic & Ginger Grilled Brussel Sprouts




I just love this time of year...the grilling, the outdoor parties, the picnics and the fires at night all make it so fun!

I love food, so anytime I can cook and or eat my food outside...well that just brings it to a whole new level! Can you see me doing the happy dance? Really...I am!

In addition to meats, I love using the grill for fish, seafood, veggies and fruits. For me, vegetables in particular take on amazing flavor when grilled.

As a kid, I wanted nothing, and I mean nothing , to do with brussel sprouts! If I even had a hint they were about to show up for dinner...I started to turn green myself. Well, I found out years later that was because my parents only served them boiled or from a bag (ouch). It's a whole new world when you roast brussels at a high temperature in the oven or pan fry them (especially with a bit of bacon or pancetta, fan-tastic). They have a whole new flavor and texture, trust me!

So with my love of the grill and my husbands and my enjoyment of brussel sprouts, I wondered about grilling them...and boy was I happy that I did! They were delish and will be a regular part of my griling rotation going forward.

Happy Grilling!
