Lemon Garlic Brussel Sprouts

I’ve been doing my best to try at least one new recipe each week. But I’ve been slacking. Oops? So I’m going to recycle this post that I originally did for my favorite girl Evani while she was gone in Seattle.
Since becoming a pescatarian in February I’ve been trying to experiment with new recipes to make vegetables that I ~~hate~~ don’t care for a little bit more bearable.

Enter Brussel Sprouts. Yuck.

Seriously, everyone age 4 and up typically hate ‘em – myself included. And so naturally I was determined to try to make them delicious. Spoiler alert: they ended up beyond delicious!

Lemon Garlic Brussel Sprouts

Ingredients
1 lb Brussel Sprouts
2 tbsp olive oil
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 lemon, juiced and peeled
pepper
sea salt

Directions
- Chop off the ends of the sprouts and and remove the outer layer.
- Cut each one of those bad boys in half

- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium high heat
- Add the sprouts in with the oil and saute for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the sprouts turn a nice brownish color, and the inside is nice and soft
- Juice and peel one lemon into a small bowl and add salt and peper to taste

- Add garlic to the pan about half way through sautéing
- Mix in the lemon juice, skin, salt and pepper mixture and reduce heat to low
- Stir and serve it up!

And there you have it! Brussels Sprouts that actually taste delicious – I promise!
