Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs brussel sprouts ends trimmed
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 lemon Zest of

Equipment

  • Food Processor

Method
 

  1. Use the slicing disk on a food processor to shred the sprouts, or a sharp knife to halve and then thinly slice them by hand.
  2. In a large deep skillet, heat the broth over medium-high heat. When it starts to simmer, add the sprouts and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until the sprouts are slightly wilted but still have some texture, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.
  4. If serving right away, stir in the lemon juice, and lemon zest. If making ahead of time, stir in the lemon right before serving hot or warm.

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to avoid overcooking.
  • Freezing: If you have extra, you can freeze cooked sprouts. They maintain their flavor well; just make sure to cool them completely before freezing.
  • Pairing: These sprouts go beautifully with grilled chicken, fish, or as a topping on grain bowls.
  • Variations: For added flavor, consider sprinkling some parmesan cheese before serving, if it fits your dietary preferences.
  • Serving suggestion: Serve Lemon Brussel Sprouts alongside roasted potatoes for a hearty meal.
