I could have sworn I hated Brussel Sprouts. I’m almost positive I despise them. I asked my parents, they agreed that surely I couldn’t stand them.
But then I grilled them.
And now I love them.
I was looking for a veggie side dish to make and this one jumped out to me. I really love using cast iron on the grill, plus it involved balsamic vinegar and garlic (two of my favorite ingredients), so this was a perfect recipe to try.
Delicious. You’ll love these. Garlic yumminess, crispy exterior, and an awesome vinegar tang. Grilled Brussel Sprouts will become a regular in the grilled veggie rotation at our house.
