KID-FRIENDLY BRUSSELS SPROUTS



Kid-Friendly Brussels Sprouts image

This is the ONLY way I can get the rest of my household to eat brussels sprouts (I think I am the ONLY one who loves these things). ;) Great for a quick work night side dish - easy and healthy too. Sometimes I add Johnny's Salad Elegance, but usually the straight-forward simple recipe does it best on this one for the kids.

Time 10m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

Brussels sprout
butter
lime juice
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Cut the end of each brussels sprout off and remove the loose outer leaves; Slice thinly or run through the slicer on your food processor.
  • Melt enough butter in a pan to coat the bottom of the pan over medium high heat; Add the brussels sprouts and cook until bright green with a little bit of crispy brown on a few edges; Remove from heat; Squeeze half a lime over the cooked brussels sprouts, or use one capful of prepared key lime juice; Serve with salt and pepper for each to add to taste.
  • Try with shredded carrots too.
  • The amount of butter is to taste, we are always trying to cut calories, so minimal amounts are better, but if you are all about taste, go for a dollop, you wont be sorry.
