Ingredients for Almond Brussels Sprouts

  • Fresh Brussels Sprout
  • Chicken Broth
  • Sliced Almonds
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Salt
  • Pepper

How to Make Almond Brussels Sprouts

  1. Wash and trim 1 pound of Brussels sprouts, then halve or quarter them depending on size.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the Brussels sprouts with 1/2 cup of vegetable broth.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  4. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 6-8 minutes, or until the sprouts are tender-crisp.
  5. Stir in 1/4 cup slivered almonds and 1 tablespoon of butter. Cook for another minute, allowing the almonds to toast slightly and the butter to melt and coat the sprouts.
  6. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
