Love this method, have used many times with broccoli, but never brussels. I grew up on steamed brussels (yuk!), and due to that I never make them. This is such a refreshing change! I used walnut oil but didn't bother with the actual walnuts this time, and left out the parm. The other light flavours were perfect. If you're on the fence about trying this....you should!!!

These were a really great addition to my Thanksgiving! The walnut and nutmeg work really well with the flavor of the brussels sprouts, and this was pretty easy to prepare too. Thanks for sharing!

Better than candy! Brussels sprouts are my absolute favorite veggie and this is a whole new spin on them. I loved the theme of "nutty" flavors right down to the nutmeg. The paresan cheese was the perfect garnish for these flavors. I made this just as written. Thanx for sharing!
