Ingredients

• 500 grams Brussels sprouts
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 2 cups Water

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the Brussels sprouts thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt.

Step 2

Trim the stem ends and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves from the Brussels sprouts.

Step 3

Cut the Brussels sprouts in half lengthwise for even cooking.

Step 4

Fill a pot with 2 cups of water and bring it to a boil over high heat. Place a steaming basket over the pot, ensuring that the basket does not touch the water.

Step 5

Add the Brussels sprouts to the steaming basket, cover with a lid, and steam for about 8-10 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are tender and bright green.

Step 6

While the Brussels sprouts are steaming, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat.

Step 7

Once the butter has melted, add lemon juice, salt, and black pepper, then stir until well combined. Remove from heat.

Step 8

When the Brussels sprouts are done steaming, remove them from the basket and transfer to a serving dish.

Step 9

Drizzle the lemon butter sauce over the steamed Brussels sprouts and sprinkle with lemon zest.

Step 10

Toss gently to coat and serve immediately.
