Brussels sprouts tend to get a bad rap, but when we've got a lemony, crispy Brussels sprouts recipe that will have everyone asking for seconds! What really makes this yummy is the fresh, minced garlic we add to the recipe! Our Lemony Brussels Sprouts will bring a bit of sunshine to the dinner table.

What You'll Need

1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice

What to Do

In a large saucepan over high heat, bring 2 quarts water to a boil.
Add sprouts, reduce heat to medium, and cook 20 minutes, or until sprouts are tender. Drain, let cool slightly, and cut sprouts in half.
