Dilemma: how to roast Brussels sprouts ahead and reheat?

That sounds good but an "all American" side has been requested. We really wanted green beans

But Brussels sprouts is the second choice

 
No, I don't think it would hold at all. Serve the green beans--they hold their color

as well as anything else. And if you roast them, I don't find they turn gray--but they also won't hold.

And I agree about no briami--THAT is a lot work and hard to portion really because of the variety of things in it--and I LOVE it.

Green beans, tiny lima beans (we call them butter beans), even peas and carrots. Bring to a boil from frozen and serve.

Another green bean that is really good is Italan green beans. They are VERY good frozen, and I like them better than regular "string" beans.

Just my opinion, but serving that many, and having to arrange the oven situation, I think simplifying without compromising flavor is a good idea. You can get a LOT of green beans/etc. in a stock pot on top of the stove--spill them into a serving pan for serving.

 
All-American green vegetable from my childhood was canned peas.

I never had Brussels sprouts until I was an adult.
Or an artichoke until age 26. (Thank you John.)
I was 32 before I tasted a fresh sliced avocado (although I'd had guacamole)
Sprouts came into my life at 30.
Kale didn't make it until 58.

Who knows what I'll find in my sixties.
