Brussels sprouts get a bad rap in the culinary world. We picture them as mushy and pungent, something yucky you had to force down as a kid to get to have dessert. But once you have had these stuffed Brussels sprouts, we promise you will never give sprouts the stink-eye again.
Whether you are serving them for dinner or as a holiday side dish, your family is going to love these stuffed Brussels sprouts. To begin, wash, trim and halve your Brussels sprouts. You then scoop out the inside of the sprouts and replace with a mixture of Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, ricotta, red pepper flakes and lemon zest. Drizzle olive oil on top of the stuffed Brussel sprouts, then roast in the oven until done, about 20 to 25 minutes.
