How long to Grill Brussel Sprouts

When making grilled Brussel Sprouts we use the small to medium size Brussel Sprouts. If you use large Brussel sprouts, they will need to cook longer on the grill.

After placing the Brussel Sprouts that have been seasoned in foil, grill for about 20 minutes or until tender. Then seasoned and grill for about 3 more minutes.

How to Trim Brussel Sprouts

Before cooking the Brussel Sprouts on the grill, make sure you cut the ends off and then slice in half. They cook better and trimming the ends off removes the tough part.
