Grilled Brussles Sprouts

Supply List:
  • 2 bags of frozen Brussels Spouts
  • 2 sticks of butter
  • 2 heaping tablespoons of chopped garlic
  • kosher salt
  • black pepper

Melt the butter and add the chopped garlic, kosher salt and black pepper and simmer for about 5 minutes over med/low heat then divide into 2 parts. One part should contain half of the melted butter and one quarter of the garlic, while the other half retains the rest of the garlic.

Next place your frozen Brussels Sprouts in a large bowl and season with kosher salt and black pepper. Now lightly drizzle the melted butter with the smaller amount of garlic over the frozen sprouts in 4 stages tossing in between. (Drizzle, toss, drizzle, toss, drizzle, toss, drizzle, toss.) Now the sprouts should have a nice garlic butter shell and are ready for the grill. If they are not going on the grill right away, place them in the freezer to keep them nice and cold.

Now, either propane or charcoal grill will work, but you must have some kind of 'grilling wok' like this.











I picked up a pair of them at Target for about 12 bucks a piece. Amazon sells them as well, here is the link.

Got one? Good. Now throw it on the grill over a three count fire or high heat for you propaniacs, and let the wok get good and hot. Now toss the sprouts and and listen to them sizzle. You will get a lot of flame up due to the melting butter, just grab the wok with a pair of tongs or your grilling mitt and give them a toss. I also keep my grilling spatula at hand to turn them frequently, keep them working until you start getting some nice char spots. After 5 to 10 minutes on the grill remove them to a oven safe dish, cover with the remaining garlic butter and slap them in the oven at 170 until they are done.
