Introduction

We all know that brussel sprouts are delicious and healthy, but you might be wondering what the best way to cook them is. Let’s get into it!

You can cook your brussel sprouts for about 20 minutes or so.

20 minutes is a good starting point for cooking your brussel sprouts. You can leave them in the oven for longer if you want them to be more tender, but they’ll also be softer and more likely to fall apart if they’re cooked too long.

The longer you cook your brussel sprouts, the more tender they will be.

If you’re cooking brussel sprouts for the first time, it’s important to know that the longer you cook them, the more tender they will become. This is because of their cruciferous nature: when cooked, glucosinolates within their leaves are converted into isothiocyanate–a compound that has been shown to have anti-cancer properties.

Isothiocyanate can also be found in other cruciferous vegetables like kale and cabbage (which were once thought to be bad for your health). But don’t worry–you won’t get sick from eating these vegetables! You just need to be careful not overdo it with amounts larger than what’s recommended here: about 1 cup per day for adults; less than 1 cup per day for children aged 2 years old through 12 years old; no more than 1/2 cup per day during pregnancy or breastfeeding..

You can also steam them if you’d like to keep them from being mushy.

You can also steam them if you’d like to keep them from being mushy. Steam them in a steamer basket over boiling water, or halve and quarter the sprouts, then steam those pieces until they are tender but still retain their crunch.

Brussel sprouts take between 15 and 30 minutes to cook completely

The amount of time it takes to cook brussel sprouts will vary depending on the size of your sprouts and how you’re preparing them. For example, whole or halved sprouts will take longer than shredded ones. If you want to make sure your Brussels are perfectly cooked, look for signs that they are tender enough to pierce with a fork (but not so soft that they fall apart).

You can also use an instant-read thermometer as an indicator: when they reach an internal temperature of 170 F/76 C., they’re done! Don’t overcook them or else they’ll be mushy–and nobody wants that in their dinner plate!

Conclusion

Brussel sprouts are a great vegetable to add to your diet, and they’re easy to cook. You can steam them or sauté them in just a few minutes. The best part about cooking brussel sprouts is that they don’t take long at all!
