Happy Holidays everyone! This is my favourite way to cook Brussels sprouts - drizzled with butter and lemon juice. Super simple and full of flavour!
I like them plain and served with crispy roast turkey but you can add Pancetta, grated parmesan cheese or toasted pine nuts, cashew nuts and flaked almonds. They also taste amazing with cream and wild mushrooms and are great when served with my Keto Cheese Sauce.
