Diane Coussan says
How do I reheat them?
Recipe Garden says
Hi Diane, you can reheat the roasted brussel sprouts in microwave safe plate for about 1 to 2 minutes until they are ready. If you do not want to microwave, you can heat them on stove top or oven too. If using stove top method, just saute them in a frying pan with little oil or butter as you prefer. I do not recommend storing them for more than 2 days (even in refrigerator) since we use frozen brussel sprouts. Thank you.
