Are you a brussels sprouts fan? It seems that people either love them or hate them. Personally, I’m a fan, and I think they’re one of those veggies that’s gotten a bad reputation.

However, there are a myriad of ways to prepare these little darlings, and we’ve gathered a few unique and unusual ways that just might turn you into a brussels sprouts lover yet.
