Brussels Sprouts. Everyone loves to hate them. But once you give them a chance, you end up really loving them. Especially once you try Smoked Brussels Sprouts.

Don’t believe me?

Try this BBQ Glazed Smoked Brussels Sprouts recipe out!

It will convert skeptics and make bigger fans out of those who already love these mini-powerhouses.

There was a day when sprouts were soggy and mushy. All from a can or frozen and boiled to death. Those days are done. Roasting, pan searing, and smoking sprouts to cook them through without losing the quality of the veggies is the way to go.

Brussels sprouts take incredible well to the smoked flavor of the grill. They remain hearty and have a great mouth-feel while soaking in flavors. The addition of a barbecue glaze at the end pops a bit of zing onto the dish and livens it up.

Bonus, add a dipping aioli to the menu for added flavor!

Mix your favorite mayo with a touch of creme fresh and Head Country Championship Seasoning Sweet and Spicy seasoning blend.

And watch even the biggest naysayers become full-on brussels sprouts fans. All because of your mad grilling skills.
