If you're a Millennial or older generation, it's likely that you were traumatized by mushy boiled brussels sprouts as a kid, leading you to swear them off forever. But please don't! When prepared correctly, brussels sprouts are delicious! If you're already on the brussels sprout train, you'll love this way of preparing them.

Why You'll Love These Lemon Parmesan Brussels Sprouts

I like to think the gateway drug to loving this misunderstood veggie is roasted brussels sprouts. But once you're hooked, eating them thinly shaved is just as delicious. This recipe incorporated flavorful lemon, parmesan and garlic, tied together with a touch of whole grain mustard and crunchy, toasty pine nuts. And it's all ready in just 15 minutes - perfect for any meal!

The Ingredients

  • Brussels Sprouts - Obviously. If you're too lazy (or busy) to shave them yourself, you can buy pre-shredded brussels.
  • Garlic - Garlic and brussels sprouts go together like peanut butter and jelly.
  • Pine Nuts - Toasted pine nuts add a nutty flavor and a nice little crunch.
  • Lemon - A pop of fresh lemon juice makes the brussels sprouts sing!
  • Parmesan - A little goes a long way. Be sure to use good quality parm and freshly shave it yourself (with a microplane zester if you have one).
  • Whole Grain Mustard - Old fashioned style with the mustard grains still intact (such as Maille).

Tips and Ingredient Substitutions

  • Don't discard the spare leaves that fall off when you are cutting the brussels sprouts. They're delicious!
  • You can leave the pine nuts out if you don't have them, or substitute walnuts or almonds.
  • You can substitute spicy brown mustard for the whole grain mustard.
