    This is a round-up of delicious brussels sprouts recipes fit for a paleo, keto or low-carb diet, with a few common questions answered about these healthy vegetables! 

    Brussels sprouts are a great kitchen staple for quick and easy recipes when you’re on a paleo, keto, Whole30 or low-carb diet plan.

    Find the answers to some of the most common questions asked about brussels sprouts below and 11 delicious brussels sprouts recipes to try them out!

    What do brussels sprouts taste like?

    Brussels sprouts and cabbage have a similar flavor profile, but don’t exactly taste the same. Some people think that brussels sprouts taste bad when raw, as they tend to be more bitter then.

    How do you get the bitterness out of brussels sprouts?

    The chemical compounds that cause some brussels sprouts to taste bitter are concentrated in the center of the veggie. Cutting your brussels sprouts in half before cooking can help to release some of the bitterness. Also, make sure you season them well!

    Why do brussels sprouts taste bitter in the first place? Not only is it due to chemical compounds, but scientists have also discovered that some people carry genes that make them more sensitive to bitter chemicals. So, if seasoning doesn’t work, it might just be your genes!

    Should you cut brussels sprouts in half before cooking?

    Cutting brussels sprouts in half helps to release some of the bitter chemical compounds concentrated in the center during the cooking process.

    Halving your sprouts also makes them cook faster and allows them to caramelize more evenly due to the greater surface area. 

    What pairs well with brussels sprouts?

    Due to their slight bitter taste, brussels sprouts tend to pair really well with sweeter ingredients, which provides balance.  Apples are a popular pairing, as well as bacon.
