Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams new potatoes
- 300 grams Brussels sprouts
- 60 milliliters water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and scrub the new potatoes thoroughly. If they are larger than bite-sized, cut them into halves or quarters to ensure even cooking.
Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Cut them in half lengthwise for quicker steaming.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the new potatoes and Brussels sprouts. Add the water to the bowl to create steam during the cooking process.
Cover the bowl tightly with microwave-safe plastic wrap or a fitted microwave-safe lid, leaving a small vent for steam to escape.
Microwave the vegetables on high for 8–10 minutes, stopping halfway through to stir them gently for even cooking. Use a fork to check for doneness; the potatoes should be tender and easily pierced.
Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave (use oven mitts, as it will be hot) and drain any excess water.
Drizzle the steamed vegetables with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss gently to coat evenly.
Transfer the vegetables to a serving bowl and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
