Cut the sprouts from the stalk and then cut root end off.
{optional}: If the sprouts are large, cut in half or quarters.
Blanching the Brussel Sprouts
Fill a saucepan halfway with water and bring to a boil.
Add the brussel sprouts.
When the water has come back to a roiling boil, set the timer.
3 min - small sprouts
4 min - medium sprouts

Transfer cooked sprouts with a slotted spoon to the ice water. Allow them to sit for 3-5 minutes, and then drain into a strainer.
How to Freeze Brussel Sprouts
Add a piece of parchment paper to a rimmed baking sheet. Place the sprouts on the parchment, ensuring they're not touching each other.
Freeze for 3 hours.
Break apart any clumps that have formed on the baking sheet and transfer the brussel sprouts to freezer-proof storage.
