This was delicious. We used asparagus instead, but next time we’ll try it with the Brussels sprouts. Excellent!
Samuel Norris
I was looking for a lighter fresh side to compliment a caribbean inspired fish with spicy mango sauce and this recipe was a great balance for the fish, but we flavor profile a bit disjointed for our tastes.
Christina Torres
I did not care for it. Why it had to have sugar I don’t know.
John Sandoval
Terrific recipe. The curry, brown sugar and jerk work so well together. Did mine on the grill in a throw-away aluminum pan. Really really tasty!
Amanda Le
I like the recipe without the brown sugar. The jerk is alittle spicy but I am going to try to put a little sour cream on it to tone down the jerk and I put a little salt. It is really good that way!!!
David Dickerson
Curry can be very overpowering in my opinion so I did cut it back to 1/2 tbsp and increased the brown sugar a little just as a personal preference. Very good overall. Served w/ coconut shrimp and pineapple lime rice.

The flavors in this dish are so unique, everyone loves it! It’s become a go-to side dish
Elizabeth Guerrero
Flavor was great, perfect mix of sweet and spicy. But the middle of my spouts were still quite tough. I used frozen sprouts so that might be the issue. I think I’ll try roasting them instead next time.
Wanda Moore
We made these for Thanksgiving and they were delicious! I will be making these again. I think they would be good in a foil pac on the grill in the summer.

Not a huge fan of brussels sprouts but really enjoyed this one! Only drawback was we had to use frozen brussels sprouts, I think it might be a 5 star recipe when made with fresh veggies.
Curtis Rivas
i’m really impressed at the flavor this dish has to be so easy to make i’m a 40 year old man trying to teach myself to cook this recipe was very helpful to me
Brian Walton
Best. Brussels. Sprouts. Ever. Not bitter at all, full of flavor! I may never roast them with boring salt and olive oil again! Made the recipe as written, but reduced butter in half only because I didn’t think I had 2 lb. ….
Sylvia Sellers
very palatable……the island theme intrigued me….what a great complementary dish for the potluck I attended. Thank you Charlie!!
Steven Bowman
followed recipe exactly, and served this at a Caribbean themed party. It was very popular and no leftover!
Elizabeth Williams
A great change of pace for brussel sprouts! Flavorful and slightly spicy.
Krystal Padilla
All I can say is… WOW! These were really good in my opinion. While I don’t entirely dislike Brussels Sprouts as a rule, I can’t say I normally make them often. This recipe could help to change that! I soaked the sprouts in salt water for 1 hour prior to cooking. For the jerk seasoning, I used a recipe from this website. I also followed the advice of another reviewer and added a little water near the end of the cooking time and then covered the pan for a bit in order to steam them and make sure they were fully cooked and tender.
John Orozco
Totally ate the whole thing myself! Used a spicy curry. So good!
Kimberly Werner
Too spicy for the family and I. I made a jerk spice recipe that I also found on this site …. maybe that is what made it unbearably hot. Either way, I just wanted to give those that, like me, enjoy a spicy dish, but not so hot that you can’t taste a thing, to skip this heartburn in a brussel sprout.
Calvin Bass
absolutely delicious! I served these with BBQ pork and scalloped potatoes and it was yummy. Everyone loved them. Thanks for the recipe.
