Quick & Spicy Brussels Sprouts with Lemon

• servings: 4 servings
• total time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved lengthwise (quartered, if large)

1 tablespoon water

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper

1/2 teaspoon lemon zest

1 teaspoon lemon juice

Directions

Place Brussels sprouts and water in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave on High until bright green but still crisp, about 3 minutes. Carefully drain the sprouts; pat dry with a paper towel.

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the drained sprouts, salt and crushed red pepper; toss to coat in oil. Turn the sprouts cut-sides down. Cook, undisturbed, until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until tender when pierced with a fork and evenly browned, 3 to 4 minutes.

Transfer the sprouts to a platter; drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with lemon zest.
