Mediterranean Brussels Sprouts

This has become our favorite way to eat brussels sprouts. Some mods made on the Whole Foods recipe. I love the idea of steaming vegetables to get the pure taste coming through. After that, all you need is a dressing or sauce to make it into any style you want. We use an electric steamer to steam the brussels sprouts. And using the machine, it takes about 10-11 minutes of steaming for our taste.

• Ready In: 10 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1  lb Brussels sprout

• Mediterranean Dressing

• 3  tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2  teaspoons lemon juice
• 2  medium garlic cloves, minced

• 1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste)

• 2  tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
• 1  tablespoon lemon zest, cut into matchstick

Directions

1. Trim and clean Brussels sprouts, cut into quarters, and let sit for at least 5 minutes to bring out the health benefits.
2. Fill the bottom of a steamer with water about 2 inches. Steam Brussels sprouts for about 10 minutes. If you like them less cooked, steam for 5-7 minutes only.
3. While Brussels sprouts are steaming combine all dressing ingredients except Parmesan cheese and lemon zest in a small bowl.
4. Transfer steamed Brussels sprouts to a large bowl and toss with Mediterranean Dressing while still hot. Top with Parmesan cheese and lemon zest.
