Ingredients

• 500 g Brussels sprouts
• 2 tbsp Vegan butter
• 2 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
• 1 tsp Lemon zest
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper (freshly ground)
• 1 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 2 cups Water

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the Brussels sprouts under cold water and trim the ends. Remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves, then slice larger sprouts in half for even cooking.

Step 2

Fill a medium-sized pot with 2 cups of water and bring to a gentle boil. Place a steamer basket in the pot, ensuring it sits above the water level.

Step 3

Add the Brussels sprouts to the steamer basket, cover the pot with a lid, and steam for 8-10 minutes or until the sprouts are tender but not mushy. You can test doneness with a fork.

Step 4

While the Brussels sprouts are steaming, prepare the lemon butter sauce. Heat a small skillet or saucepan over low heat and add the vegan butter.

Step 5

Once the vegan butter has melted, stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.

Step 6

Add the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper to the melted butter and stir well to combine.

Step 7

Remove the steamed Brussels sprouts from the pot and transfer them to a mixing bowl.

Step 8

Pour the lemon butter sauce over the Brussels sprouts and toss gently to coat evenly.

Step 9

Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the sprouts for added freshness and garnish.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a delightful side dish or enjoy on its own!
