Grill, turning frequently, until sprouts are tender and cooked through, about 10 to 15 minutes. Garnish with Parmesan before serving.
- Pick Sprouts That Are All The Same Size
Believe it or not, despite being small, Brussels sprouts vary greatly in size. Make sure when picking out of the bulk bin or choosing your bag of sprouts, that they are all around the same size. This will ensure even cooking, and will help the skewers lay flat on the grill. 2. Get Them Clean Brussels sprouts aren’t a particularly dirty vegetable (cough leeks) but it’s still good to give them a good rinse to remove any debris. Trim the ends of the sprouts and discard any leaves that fall off in the process. Place trimmed sprouts in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Drain in a colander, pat dry, and continue with your recipe! 3. If You Want to Use Wood Skewers, Soak Them In this and all cases, if you’re going to use wooden skewers on the grill, make sure you soak them thoroughly. If you neglect this step, they may start to burn, or worse, catch fire. Soaking the skewers in water is the best way to avoid unwanted flames. Tried this recipe?
