Hi guys, it’s Emilie from Tales of a Texas Granola Girl!

Well, it’s official the Texas summer is here and just like that the temps went from lovely and mild to sweltering in what seems like overnight!  I’m grateful the days are longer so I have time to enjoy the outdoors in the evenings after things cool off a bit. This is also my favorite time to grill so we’ve been eating a little later than usual but no one around here seems to mind a bit! Especially since we’re eating crazy good food like these grilled brussels sprouts! These days if I can put it on the grill to save myself from heating up the kitchen…I’m in!

How to make grilled brussel sprouts

Brussels sprouts are one of our family’s favorite veggies! We especially like them roasted in the oven but I’ve found that the grill gets them super crispy which I love!  I know what your thinking…how do you make grilled brussels sprouts? Won’t they fall through the grates? Well yes, they will but I have a tip for that! For any veggies that are small like these guys, I like to put them all in a disposable aluminum pan on the grill. The magic happens when the grill heats up the bottom of the pan and causes some serious caramelization and crisp factor to take place! SOOO GOOOD!

Quick Tip: This Lemon Aioli is great on just about anything from a lettuce wrap to burgers and fish…Make extra!

Can I use frozen brussel sprouts?

You’ll want to use fresh brussels sprouts for this recipe, frozen will have too much moisture. To clean up the sprouts, wash them up, trim off the stem end and peel off the outside leaves that may be wilted or not tightly attached to the sprout. After they’re all trimmed, I like to give them another rinse and dry them off before throwing them in the pan.

What type of oil should I use?

Toss the sprouts in the fat of your choice and they are off to the grill. I would stay away from extra virgin olive oil or butter for this, but avocado oil, light olive oil, bacon fat, and even duck fat are great for this dish!

How can I serve grilled brussel sprouts?

Serve these Grilled Brussels Sprouts up as an appetizer with the delicious, bright aioli as a dip on the side or serve them up drizzled with this super quick and easy Lemon Aioli and don’t forget the Parmesan! Either way, these crispy grilled brussels sprouts are a real crowd pleaser!
