Ingredients

  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, as uniform in size as possible*
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

*Cook's Note: In order to facilitate even cooking, it is important that the Brussels sprouts be as uniform in size and shape as possible.

Heat a grill to medium.

Cut off the stem end of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellowing outer leaves. Place the Brussels sprouts into a large, microwave safe mixing bowl and heat in the microwave on high for 3 minutes. Add the olive oil, garlic, mustard, paprika and salt and toss to combine. Allow the sprouts to cool until you can handle them. Skewer 4 to 5 Brussels sprouts onto each metal skewer with the stem ends facing in the same direction, leaving at least 1/2-inch in between each sprout. Place the skewers onto the grill with stem end closest to the flame. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Turn the skewers over and continue to cook for another 5 minutes. Serve as is or for additional flavor, remove the sprouts from the skewers, return them to the original mixing bowl and toss with any of the remaining oil and garlic mixture before serving.

    A friend of mine made these for me when I traveled during the holidays to visit him in Tampa, FL - we love brussel sprouts, but this recipe takes it to a whole new level! WOW
    If you want to make them without threading on skewers, zap them for a couple minutes in the microwave before seasoning and then after seasoning, put them in a metal basket on the grill - you won't be disappointed!

    Easy and yummy. I made this for a big dinner and there wasn't a single sprout left (even after half the party said they disliked brussels. Also nice because it frees up space on stove and in oven.
