I like them in salad form, too. Raw and shredded (I just do it with a knife) with dried cranberries and goat cheese or bleu cheese.

We call the edges that get brown and crispy vegetarian bacon.

Same here. Unfortunately I think it’s a taste that a fair number of people are just never going to like. If they won’t eat it this way, I’m not sure extra layers of flavor will help much.

My kids won't eat them anyway I cook them, but OTHER kids like them either:
-- roasted with olive oil and salt, then coated with a bit of real maple syrup and a mild mustard

-- shredded and sauteed in olive oil with garlic and shredded carrots and salt

I prefer the first because it is so good as leftovers -- they decline them and then I eat just a big bowl of them the next day for lunch. So yummy.

Cut them small, Mask the taste as best you can, and cook the heck out of them.

Cut the bottoms off, slit them in half and toss with olive oil and kosher salt. Sprinkle bacon bits atop (or a T of maple syrup if your family prefers sweet to salty). Roast at 425 until delicious

Deep fried are the best IMO, but not practical for everyday eating.
Roast with salt and olive oil on high heat - the best way to make sure they get crispy and charred around the edges is to spread them out cut side down in a single layer with space between the sprouts.

Coat in a squeeze of lemon, olive oil, and salt and pepper. Roast at ~400 until carmelized. Pull and toss with grated parm and squeeze a little more lemon to taste.

Roast them until they get brown and caramelized. Add melted butter and chestnuts if you want to be decadent, or a little pancetta or crispy bacon.

Random question but any recommendations for tried and true kid-friendly brussel sprouts recipes? My kids don't like them (neither does my DH to be honest, and not my favorite veg either) but I keep getting them from my subscription service, so looking for ways that I can cook them right.
TIA!
