How to make the best Brussels Sprouts
This is my very favorite way to make brussels sprouts! A lot of people like to roast them in the oven, but I prefer to saute them over the stove. You have a lot more control over browning and doneness, and the whole process takes less than 10 minutes. You can’t beat that!
To give brussels sprouts the very best flavor as you’re cooking, you need 3 things:
- Fat— butter or oil, like olive oil or coconut oil
- Acid— fresh lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, red wine vinegar, etc.
- Sweetener— maple syrup or honey
This recipe for maple Dijon brussels sprouts uses butter, red wine vinegar, maple syrup and Dijon mustard, but you can use the list above to make your own fabulous combination.
