Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh Brussels sprouts
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • Trim ends off Brussels sprouts and cut in half (small ones can be left whole).
  • Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add Brussels sprouts and water, bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, cover and cook for 10 minutes or until Brussels sprouts are tender, stirring occasionally.
  • Uncover, raise heat to medium-high, add olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper; cook until water evaporates, stirring often, about 2 minutes.

Notes

You could certainly use butter instead of olive oil, or a combination of the two. I wanted to keep this recipe vegan so I did not write it to include butter. It is very yummy that way too!
