I often buy fruits and vegetables in bulk from Costco then I’m left to figure how to eat them before they all go bad. Last week I bought a two-pound bag of brussels sprouts. While I do love them, I find it rather challenging to eat them daily. Tonight I made a chilled brussels sprouts dish with a bit of extra virgin olive oil and grated pecorino romano. It’s a great side, and I usually eat them before anything else on my plate.
Chilled Brussels Sprouts with Romano and Oil Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 pounds Brussels sprouts trimmed
- salt
- 1/2 cup grated pecorino romano Parmigiano Reggiano, or Manchego cheese
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Fit a medium pot with steamer insert; fill pot with water until it reaches the bottom of insert. Cover, and bring to a boil.
- Add Brussels sprouts and sprinkle with salt. Cover, and steam until Brussels sprouts are slightly tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove Brussels sprouts from steamer; refrigerate until chilled through. Leave small Brussels sprouts whole; cut large Brussels sprouts in half. Toss with olive oil and cheese. Serve chilled.
Notes
Chill Brussels sprouts for about an hour before tossing with cheese and oil.

This is one of my favorite ways of eating them.
A nice photo of chilled Brussels sprouts. Well my husband likes Brussels sprouts, I would probably give them a miss. I am sure they are tasty 🙂
Adding cheese is such a good flavor enhancer to just about anything! I’ll have to give this a try.
My hubby loves brussels sprouts but I’m not sure if he’ll eat them cold – so I’ll see how this goes over!
I love Brussels sprouts but don’t know many ways to prepare them. I’ve never tried then chilled — now I will! Thanks, Sherry!
