How Long to Boil Brussels Sprouts

It only takes 5 to 10 minutes to boil Brussels sprouts. Keep a close eye on them, though: Properly cooked sprouts are delicious, but overcooking them is the reason why this cruciferous vegetable has such a bad reputation, especially with kids. Cooked Brussels sprouts should become soft but still have a little bit of crunch. They should not be mushy. If you want to jazz them up a bit, try adding lemon juice to the water for a burst of flavor that pairs nicely with the strong flavor of the sprouts. You can add salt and pepper to them once they've been removed from the water.
