These are next level brussel sprouts! I always loved Brussels sprouts, even as a kid. My dad used to grow them in the garden and I was so excited when the first harvest would come in. For years I have been roasting them with bacon, but a while back someone served them with crumbled blue cheese on top. And wow, talk about an exploration of flavors. You’ve got to try this!
