This looks delicious, I’m going to try and use frozen instead of fresh, theres not a good selection at our local market.
Add a lot of chopped (chunky) fresh garlic. It cooks to crispy and is delicious with the brussel sprouts!
I have decided this is the only way to eat Brussels spouts from now on. I loved them cooked this way.
I’m having trouble finding fresh brussels sprouts. Can I use frozen?
I am going to try this tonight, but I am adding a little garlic. Look delish………
I chop up 2 dried dates with the sprouts… really good if you like sweet/salty together. Still keeps the points low.
LOVE this idea!!! I’ll definitely try that next time. Thanks for sharing!
