This is the recipe you make for the non-brussels spouts eaters. No joke, if the store hadn’t run out of brussels spouts we would have made this every night for dinner. I was originally drawn to this recipe because it didn’t require butter and/or pancetta, ingredients that are typically paired with brussels sprouts. I’m not sure what’s more shocking to you 1. that a grocery store could run out of brussels sprouts or 2. that I don’t like butter & pancetta with my vegetables. And you thought I lived a normal life, why? Anyways, this recipe the perfect side dish for Holiday entertaining or even a causal night in.

A few alternatives – pine nuts instead of pistachios and olive oil instead of grapeseed oil.

This recipe is quick, easy, healthy, vegetarian, and low calorie.
