Christmas day Brussel sprouts

[blueberrypie1999]

Trying to move my family on from just boiled to something a bit more interesting.
Needs to be suitable for vegetarians.
Any ideas pls?

Par boil then roast with pancetta lardons and maple syrup.

I think you missed that part where its for vegetarians!

Cut in half, toss in olive oil and garlic salt, roast until crispy. Grate lemon zest over them before serving.

Shred them and fry in goosefat with garlic and smoky bacon bits. Delicious!

Shredded and cooked in port

Roasted with pancetta

So did half the answers!

I will still try the meaty ones - just won't serve them that way in Christmas day. Thanks for all the replies.

If you roast them in avocado oil, that tastes very bacon-y without any pig related stuff. And you can add frozen or vacuum packed chestnuts.

I cut them in half, steam them for a couple of minutes then finish off in a pan with diced pancetta (obviously just omit if needs to be vegetarian), garlic, sage and chopped chestnuts. I try and get a slight char on them without burning. Can't go back to plain boiled sprouts now they just seem disappointing.

I thought that you were going to ask of anyone had started to boil theirs yet?
