Believe it or not, the holidays are right around the corner! Are you ready? Whether you’re hosting the big meal or need a dish to pass, this 4-ingredient Lemon Garlic Brussels Sprouts recipe is for you!
Since this is our first year in our new home and our first time ever hosting Thanksgiving, you better believe I am in favor of any dish that is ready in just 5 minutes! The secret to this fast-cooking side dish recipe? Ocean Mist’s Season and Steam Brussels sprouts that cook in just 5 minute flat!
While there are endless ways to elevate the flavor of these nutritional powerhouses, I love making a simple lemon garlic vinaigrette with olive oil and a pinch of chili flakes. A sprinkle of fresh scallions on top before serving is all you need to turn this naturally gluten-free side dish recipe from blah to yum.
Your fork is waiting.
