I guess I can compile a list of food that people hate until they realise what it's like if prepared correctly. Fresh asparagoose vs tinned Frozen peas vs tinned Brussels prepared nicely vs not I’ve always steamed them, and I’ve always loved them.

Roast them until the edges of the leaves start turning (almost) black. You want all the caramelization but you don't want to cook them long enough to get soft throughout. Mushy brussel sprouts are yuck, which is why I hate boiled or steamed sprouts. Once they're roasted, they're great as is (we never have leftovers regardless of how many I make), or tossed in a salad with bacon, dried apricots, honey roasted pecans and a little red wine vinegar.
