How To Cook Sprouts. Heat the Brussels sprout at a high temperature for about 15-25 minutes until they are deeply golden brown crispy on the outside and can be pierced through with a fork. Once your pot is back on the heat allow the brussel sprouts to boil for about 10 minutes.
Steaming takes just 6 to 8 minutes while boiled Brussels sprouts will be ready to eat in just 5 minutes. If you do they wont brown as well so youd miss out on a lot of flavor. Alternatively go for a slightly richer side dish by sautéing your Brussels sprouts.
By sauting them you save time and get great-tasting sprouts.
This will cook the sprouts most of the way through. Add your brussel sprouts cover and boil for around 4 5 minutes. Place the cooking water and salt in a medium sized lidded pan and bring to the boil. Cook and stir until sprouts begin to brown lightly 2-3 minutes.
