Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussel sprouts
- 2 cups Water
- 3 tablespoons Dairy-free butter (e.g., plant-based butter)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, chopped for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the Brussel sprouts thoroughly under cold water and trim any dry or discolored outer leaves. Slice each sprout in half lengthwise.
In a steamer basket, add the halved Brussel sprouts and place the basket inside a pot with 2 cups of water. Ensure the water doesn't touch the steamer basket.
Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and heat over medium-high heat. Steam the Brussel sprouts for 8-10 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
While the Brussel sprouts are steaming, prepare the lemon butter sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the dairy-free butter over medium-low heat.
Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and cook for 1 more minute. Remove from heat.
Once the Brussel sprouts are done steaming, transfer them to a serving bowl.
Drizzle the lemon butter sauce over the Brussel sprouts and toss gently to coat evenly.
If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for an extra pop of color and flavor.
Serve immediately as a side dish and enjoy your dairy-free steamed Brussel sprouts with zesty lemon butter!
