Chef Aaron Fish is back with a delicious take on vegetables. Even though Brussels sprouts might not be your favorite greens to eat, this recipe will make it so they don't really taste like Brussels sprouts. Sweet, tangy, and savory these will have all your family members downing their veggies and wanting more. Pair this with grilled chicken, grilled salmon, or lobster tail skewers. Use this as main dish for a vegetarian dinner or pair it with your favorite protein.Author: Aaron Fish | Fish Food
