Ok, so you read the words "brussel sprouts" in the title! Don't turn away!! Brussel sprouts just have a bad reputation for some reason as that one tasteless healthy gross food that you threaten your kids with. But I'm here to say, challenge that reputation! I did and I came to find out that there are really good and if prepared the right way, I actually crave them! Say what?! Crazy I know. But try it sometime. You might actually surprise yourself. This is the way that I like to prepare them even though there are several different ways I'm sure. You could always steam them, roast them, or other methods. Personally, I like boiling them. Here is how I do it....
First Step:
Peel off the first layer of leaves
Second Step:
Chop of the little stem thing at the end
Third Step:
Cut an X on the bottom, as shown
Fourth Step:
Place brussel sprouts in boiling water so that there are covered completely
Fifth Step:
Take out after 8 minutes of cooking
Sixth Step:
You can either stop here, OR what I like to do is chop them up a little just to make it a little easier to eat.
Last Step:
Top with a little bit of extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice along with some sea salt and pepper and enjoy your snack! :)
