If you love Brussels sprouts, these simply prepared sprouts are sure to please. The lightly-browned butter makes the brussels sprouts taste like candy. I cut the butter down to 4 tbsp. but otherwise stuck to the recipe. Thanx for posting! -
This was ok... we like more spice in our veggies. It was still a good recipe for eating brussel sprouts. Thanks. -
I rarely meet a brussels sprouts recipe that I don't love, and this is no exception. I steamed mine, then put them off to the side while I prepared the rest of the meal...Melted the butter and threw in the seasonings in the same saucepan I cooked the brussels sprouts in....it turned out delicious! Of course, to me, the sprouts alone would be delicious!! Thanks for sharing your recipe,
