Instructions

1. Trim sprouts and steam them in a steamer basket, or the microwave. If steaming over boiling water, do this for about 8 minutes, or until sprouts are tender.
2. Remove sprouts from the steamer basket and cut in half lengthwise. Then coat the bottom of a skillet with olive oil and nestle the sprouts, cut side down, the pan over medium heat. Allow the sprouts to cook for about 5 minutes. Do not turn them over! Make sure the bottoms are evenly browned and crisped. Then, turn them all over and cook for another 3 minutes.
3. Remove sprouts from pan and drizzle them with a bit more olive oil, sprinkle with the salt and squeeze half the lemon over top. Note: If you have made these during naptime then allow them to cool before placing them in the fridge. Then reheat them at dinner!

Naptime Reviews

I’ll admit, I have not yet converted my toddler to Brussels Sprouts, but my husband enjoyed these. I’ll have to keep working on my daughter, but I’m sure she’ll come around eventually.
