Preparation

Step 1

If your Brussels sprouts are really big, you may want to cut them into six wedges.

Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the carrot; sauté 4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Add Brussels sprouts; sauté 5 minutes or until crisp-tender. Add parsley and remaining ingredients; cook 30 seconds or until the sugar melts, stirring constantly.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 3/4 cup)
