Can I make this dish vegetarian and vegan?

This is done quite simply by omitting the bacon and using vegetable oil instead of butter. The sprouts themselves are vegetarian and vegan.

Why are my brussel sprouts mushy?

You likely cooked the sprouts too long and in too much oil or butter. It is also likely that the sprouts were still frozen and not drained properly before cooking.

How do you revive old brussel sprouts?

The sprouts should be soaked in a bowl of cold water first. Then they can be placed on a tray after draining and patting them dry. Next drizzle them with olive oil and bake in the oven at 400* for 20 minutes.

What texture should brussel sprouts be?

The sprout should be slightly firm when cooked. If overcooked, they become mushy. When they are not cooked properly, they will be too hard.

How should I store the leftover Brussel Sprouts?

The brussel sprouts can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They can be reheated by placing them in a skillet with Olive oil to crisp them up again. The sprouts will also be good if frozen for up to 3 months.

Can I prepare this recipe in advance?
