I did not plant brussel sprouts this year. And, yes, you do take off the leaves up the stem as the plant grows. Last year, I roasted mine in the oven with a little olive oil and sea salt. Just cut an X in the stem and cook until the outer leaves get brown and crispy.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00092465487912222075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7485248345006754419.post-39095166529065333292013-02-06T13:31:30.180-08:002013-02-06T13:31:30.180-08:00All my favourite vegies, they all look so fresh.
