Brussels Sprouts - Savory and Delicious!

A little different twist on Brussels sprouts

I love these little green nutritional giants. I like them anyway they are made. This is my favorite because the sprouts remain green and have a little crunch. Most of my guests love this method and usually have never had them before.

Measurements do not need to be exact. Prepare as much or as little as you like and adjust the seasonings accordingly.

Ingredients & Preparation

• 1 lbs. Brussels sprouts
• 2tbsp grape seed oil
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper or to taste

Step 1: Prepare the Brussels sprouts

Cut the bottoms from each sprout. Remove and discard any yellowed or withered leaves. Take off all outside leaves that will come off easily and place in a bowl. Quarter the remainder of the sprout and add to the bowl with the leaves. Once all sprouts are prepared sprinkle one tablespoon of the oil over the sprouts and toss to coat.

Step 2: Sauté the sprouts

Pour the remaining oil in a sauté skillet and heat the skillet. Add the Brussels sprouts to the skillet, add seasoning and toss. Cook the sprouts over medium heat until crisp tender. Adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately.

If you do not enjoy a little heat in your vegetables the cayenne pepper may be omitted or substituted with black pepper.
