Instead, put the raw brussel sprouts in a bowl, and pour on a couple table spoons of olive oil. Then sprinkle with sea salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Maybe a little tarragon too. Mix it up so everything is fully coated, then spread it all out on a cookie sheet. Roast it at about 425 for maybe 15-18 minutes.
Much, much better than steaming, and you don't get the smell as much either.
