Garlic Lemon Brussels Sprouts

By karenstl

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp olive oil (I use light olive oil)
• 2 large garlic cloves, minced
• 3/4 lb Brussels sprouts
• 1/4 tsp lemon pepper
• 1/4 tsp Kosher salt
• 1 tsp lemon zest

Preparation

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a saute pan over medium low heat. Be sure to use a pan that has a lid as you’ll need to cover it later. I found a lid

Add the garlic, watching it carefully so it doesn’t burn. After about 30 seconds or when  you start smelling the garlic, add the sprouts.

Stir them with a large spoon to coat them in the oil. Then saute them for about 10 minutes, stirring and again watching so the garlic doesn’t burn. When the sprouts are starting to soften and get a little brown, add 2-3 tablespoons of water to the pan and then cover it.

Cook for 5 minutes and then remove the pan from the heat.

Add the lemon pepper, salt and lemon zest. Toss and serve.
