I have always done them by cutting in half, sprinkle with olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder, then roast in the oven about 1/2 hour at 375. Never had an issue with bitterness.

Sounds good....I've roasted them too, with good results....brings out the natural sweetness, I suppose.
Wonder if bitterness increases as the b.s. age...?
I used to use a bit of sugar when cooking cabbage, to decrease bitterness, maybe I'll give that a try too.

We love them done this way, but with a slightly different twist. Every thing the same, but doing them in a Teflon fry pan on the range top.
Add a little olive oil, a small dollop of butter, salt and pepper to the fry pan, heat it up a bit, add the cut in half brussel sprouts, cut size down, turn the heat up to almost high and let them sizzle in the pan for 3 or 4 minutes until the cut size which is down on the pan turns golden brown. Flip one over every now and then to see how they are doing. Then turn the heat way down, like 1 or 2 on your burner dial, put a lid on the fry pan and let them cook in there for 10 or minutes or so.
Serve them hot. To us this is as good as eating candy, and a lot healthier :-)
Who would guess brussel sprouts could be this good.
My niece took me to Sizzzy's in Long Beach and told my brother and I we'd love them.....we were like, probably not. One taste and we were hooked!

Sounds great! I'll try both ways....assume you had no bitterness...? I've done similar to this using soy sauce towards the end-very tasty.
I've done them similar but at 400-450 and mixed in some sausage. I cook'em till they have good caramelization. Then top with some parm cheese after I take them out of the oven.

Will try...
No one has mentioned bitterness....maybe I had some that were really not fresh at all.
The longer you cook them (when doing them by just boiling them) the more they are likely to turn bitter. The trick if you don't want to use butter or anything like that is just to do them until they are tender, not soft.

No Bitterness at all. We've done them this way a few dozen times. and to my taste, they have always been excellent. We've had big ones, small ones, and in between sizes....but they all seem to taste good.
We just did a batch a few nights ago. We were out for coffee one afternoon and discussing what to have for dinner. I suggested we eat some leftovers we had from the last couple nights.....along with a fresh pan full of Brussel sprouts prepared this way. It was a tasty meal!
