I saute them with garlic and a bit of onion or bacon, or I roast them with olive oil, bacon, a little salt and lemon juice. And I love them. A bit of a paint to prepare because I need someone to hang around with me and pull all the outer leaves off and help me slice the things, but worth it. So worth it.

I was a kid whose mother (and father) overcooked the veggies--boiled the poor things to death, they did. I now can't stand the thought of a boiled vegetable. I like mine crunchy, so they get lightly steamed or sauteed or roasted (okay, that doesn't result in crunchy veggies, but roasted carrots with a bit of ginger...)

Edit: and yay for me not paying attention to the fact that this was a year-old thread. It should have struck me as odd that a four-page thread about sprouts just sprang up out of nowhere.
