I have never had brussel sprouts before and frankly, quite hesitant to make them, but very excited after I completed the recipe. It looked really enticing with the colors and smells and tasted fantastic. Don't know why I waited so long.
This recipe was very easy. I absolutely love following Tyler Florence's cooking style. Have done so for about 7 yrs. now. His recipes make me look like a great cook. Thank you Tyler!

If only our mothers had this recipe years ago. I have always hated brussel sprouts because of how my mom cooked them. It was just WRONG! My family actually asks for this dish now. The Panko on top makes it perfect.
