These Sautéed Lemon Garlic Brussel Sprouts are such a great side dish for Springtime. They are light and buttery with a hint of fresh lemon.
I love brussel sprouts… especially when they are extra buttery! My husband on the other hand, isn’t the biggest fan. When I made these the other night we BOTH chowed down on them! These sauteed brussel sprouts turned out so good! The lemon just adds such a fresh, bright flavor! I couldn’t be happier with how these babies turned out. This is a great one if you are looking to get out of your side-dish rut!

Tried this just now. My only complaint is….. I should have made more! Super good. Super easy. I’m keeping it. Next time I will double it, no, make that triple.
