Ingredients

• 500 grams Brussels sprouts
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the Brussels sprouts thoroughly under cold water, then trim off the tough stem ends and remove any discolored outer leaves. Cut the larger sprouts in half for even cooking.

Step 2

Set up a steamer basket in a pot filled with about 2 inches of water, ensuring the water does not touch the bottom of the basket. Bring the water to a boil over medium heat.

Step 3

Place the prepared Brussels sprouts into the steamer basket. Cover the pot with a lid and steam the sprouts for 8-10 minutes, or until tender but still slightly firm. Do not overcook to avoid mushy sprouts.

Step 4

While the Brussels sprouts are steaming, prepare the lemon butter sauce. Mince the garlic cloves finely.

Step 5

In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 6

Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well and cook for another 1 minute, then remove the saucepan from heat.

Step 7

Once the Brussels sprouts are cooked, transfer them to a serving bowl. Pour the lemon butter sauce over the Brussels sprouts and toss to coat evenly.

Step 8

If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and extra flavor.

Step 9

Serve the Keto Steamed Brussels Sprouts with Lemon Butter immediately as a side dish. Enjoy!
