Pan Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Brown Butter

November 3, 2011 by Jaida Leave a Comment

As children, the mention of Brussels sprouts sent shivers up our backs and maybe even triggered our gag reflex, even if we’d never actually tried one. I was one of those kids. I am not a fan of cabbage, and these had always been described to me as baby cabbage, therefore I wanted nothing to do with them at any point in my life. But several of the girls I work with had been raving about how much they love Brussels sprouts, and so I asked them for their prep method and tried them. My first attempt wasn’t very successful, but I tried again and they were wonderful.
Recently I ran across this recipe on How Sweet It Is, and decided that I would try another version and then share it with my girls at work. Again I was not disappointed. I mean, how can you go wrong with brown butter in any dish?? I also submitted this for this week’s recipe swap, so I’m anxious to see who got it and how they liked it! If you are a fan of the sprouts, or even if you think you don’t like them, I would recommend giving this recipe a try and you won’t be disappointed!

3.      Add in brussels sprouts cut side down, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook for 8-10 minutes, tossing brussels every so often, until browned.

5.      Remove brussels from heat and drizzle browned butter over top, then serve.

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy. Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
