LOVED IT! Next time I'd like to try roasting longer and skip the boiling.

I made these last night and they were fantastic. I have always loved brussels sprouts but this is the first time I've made them (weird?!). I will definitely be making these again. The crumb topping complemented these perfectly.

This is a big hit in our home. Even my young children will eat brussel sprouts this way. The adults in my family enjoy a dash of cayenne pepper mixed in with the topping for added punch. During the summer we will make a small amount in a 3-cup square glass dish and bake in the toaster oven.

I made this recipe on Christmas Day to go with our turkey dinner. I used fresh brussels sprouts and cut them in half since they were so large. We all agreed that these were the best brussels sprouts we'd ever had.
