Brussels

Microwave Brussels sprouts by placing 1 lb of halved, washed sprouts in a microwave-safe dish with 1–2 tablespoons of water.

Cover with a lid or microwave-safe plastic wrap (vented) and cook on high for 4–6 minutes until tender-crisp. Season with butter, salt, pepper, or lemon juice

Key Tips for Microwave Brussels Sprouts:

Best Method: Use a steamer basket or bowl with a lid for optimal steaming, with roughly 1 tablespoon of water.

Timing: 4-6 minutes is typical for fresh sprouts, while frozen sprouts may take around 3 minutes to heat through.

Enhancements: For extra flavour, toss with balsamic glaze, bacon bits, parmesan cheese, or garlic powder.

Avoid Mushiness: Ensure they are fork-tender but not overcooked, which can lead to a strong smell.
