Caramelized Lemony Brussels Sprouts image

I was obsessed with serving lemony bok choy with some baked salmon. But no bok choy available. Since brussels sprouts are in a similar family, I messed around with them and some lemon. We liked them a lot!

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 lb brussels sprouts, washed, trimmed and quartered or halved
1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp lemon juice plus zest
1/4 tsp garlic powder
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. In a skillet, combine sprouts and 1/2 cup water; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Simmer over medium heat; cover; cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the water has evaporated and sprouts are not quite tender, about 6-8 minutes (add a little more water if skillet becomes dry before sprouts are done).
  • 2. Increase heat to medium-high; add oil to skillet. Distribute lemon zest over sprouts. Continue to cook, uncovered, without stirring, until sprouts are golden brown on underside, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • 3. Remove from heat, then give a couple squeezes of lemon juice; toss with garlic powder, salt and pepper.
