Brussels sprouts have been maligned for too many years. The vilified vegetable is finally getting the appreciation it is due, thanks to chefs who figured out amazing ways to cook up these mini-cabbages -- and thanks to doctors and researchers who added them to the top of the superfoods list. Brussels sprouts are low in fat and calories, yet high in protein that is completed when paired with whole grains, making them an ideal addition to any vegetarian's meal plan. The sprouts are filled with Vitamin A and C, and provide a hefty dose of potassium and calcium. Thanks to that Vitamin C content as well as indole, a phytochemical, they help ward off cancer. Yes, you should follow the motherly advice of eating Brussels sprouts "because they're good for you" but also because they taste amazing. Don't believe it? Just try out some of the fantastic recipes we've rounded up for you. Shredded in a hash for breakfast or roasted up with citrus flavors for dinner, here are Brussels sprout recipes you won't be able to resist (nor should you!).
