Where to Buy Brussel Sprouts on the Stalk

As Brussels sprouts age, they lose their sweetness and moisture, so keep them on the stalk as long as possible to help retain their volume and plumpness. If you happen to find Brussels sprouts on the stalk, buy them. Sprouts on the stalk stay fresher for a longer period of time than loose sprouts. Store the stalks in fresh water, like flowers, and use a knife to remove them from the stalk before preparing.

Available at health food stores such as Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods or Natural Grocers.

I recommend this knife block set. I have a similar model for over 10 years and it’s great quality. The handle is sturdy and makes chopping easy.

• Toss with olive oil and balsamic

• Add salt and pepper to taste

• Spread onto baking mat such as the one pictured below or parchment paper

I like using the Artisan Metal Works baking sheet because it’s easy to clean, BPA free and the food doesn’t stick to it. Whether you’re prepping, baking, or cooking in these pans, they’re always in use one way or another in kitchens, commercial or not. This 2/3 size sheet pan and silicone baking mat combination by Artisan Metalworks is the dynamic duo for all things baking. This sheet pan is made of sturdy 18-gauge aluminum and has a reinforced rim that can withstand high-heat without warping. Although this pan is thick, aluminum is a great conductor of heat so you can, rest assured, know your signature dish will bake evenly.

• Flip after 15 minutes of roasting and roast for another 15 minutes until crispy

Enjoy along with a healthy dinner!
