How can I tell if the Brussel sprouts are done cooking?
To determine if Brussels sprouts are done cooking, follow these tips:

  1. Color: Cooked Brussels sprouts will have a vibrant green color and may develop some charred or browned edges from the cooking process.
  2. Texture: The outer leaves should be slightly crispy, while the inside should remain tender. Overcooked Brussels sprouts tend to become mushy and lose their vibrant color.
  3. Piercing Test: Use a fork or the tip of a knife to gently pierce a Brussels sprout. If it slides in easily without much resistance, the sprouts are done cooking. They should be tender but still have a slight bite to them (al dente).
  4. Tasting: The best way to ensure your Brussels sprouts are cooked to your liking is to taste one. If they are tender and flavorful, they are ready to serve.

Remember that cooking times may vary depending on the size of your Brussels sprouts and the chosen cooking method. Keep an eye on them and use these indicators to ensure perfectly cooked sprouts every time.

Tips for Brussels Sprouts on the Grill

  1. When grilling Brussels sprouts, cook them a bit before so they are cooked all the way through but not too brown.
  2. Feel free to add more seasonings or spices to your liking.
  3. You can cook these foods on sticks or on a grill. You can also use a basket instead of foil.
  4. When cooking with foil packets, keep turning them while they cook so that they are cooked the same amount all over.
  5. You can keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can reheat them in a pan with a bit of olive oil or use an air fryer. You can also eat them cold, like in a salad or pasta salad.


How do I store and reheat grilled Brussel sprouts?
To store and reheat grilled Brussels sprouts, follow these steps:
Storing Grilled Brussels Sprouts:

  • Allow the grilled Brussels sprouts to cool to room temperature.
  • Place them in an airtight container or sealable plastic bag, removing as much air as possible before sealing.
  • Store the container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

Reheating Grilled Brussels Sprouts:
To maintain their texture and flavor, choose one of these reheating methods:

  • Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet in a single layer and cover with aluminum foil. Reheat for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are heated through. Remove the foil for the last few minutes if you prefer a crispier texture.
  • Stovetop: Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat with a small amount of oil. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through and slightly crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Microwave: Place the Brussels sprouts in a microwave-safe dish and cover with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap. Leave a small vent for steam to escape. Microwave on medium power for 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even heating. Be cautious as microwaving can result in a softer texture.

Remember always to reheat only the portion you plan to consume, as reheating multiple times can affect the quality and safety of the food.
