• fresh Brussels sprouts (about 2 pounds)
• olive oil
• minced garlic
• Italian cheese blend
• proscuitto
• salt and pepper

Kitchen tools and equipment needed:

How to trim fresh Brussels sprouts:

I like to cut off the bottom end of the sprout and then remove the top one or two layers of leaves. You'll see how I do it by watching the very beginning of the video.

For this recipe, I cut the sprouts in half or quarters after trimming, depending on how large they are. The largest sprouts are the ones I like to quarter.

What are some of the health benefits of Brussels sprouts?

Since Brussels sprouts are high in many nutrients, they're a wonderful addition to a healthy diet.

Brussels sprouts are low in calories (about 28 per half cup), but high in antioxidants. Antioxidants are known to lower a body's risk of chronic diseases.

Brussels sprouts are high in fiber which promotes digestive health and they also reduce the risk of heart disease and improve blood sugar levels.

Brussels sprouts are one of the best plant-based forms of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids have been proven to reduce insulin resistance, and decrease inflammation.

Can bacon be substituted for the prosciutto in this recipe?

You bet!

Follow the exact same instructions as with the prosciutto, but you'll most likely want to drain the fat from the bacon before adding it to the Brussels sprouts.

Can the meat be left out of this sautéed Brussels sprouts recipe entirely?

Yes, of course. It's completely your call.

It's a delicious hot Brussels sprout dish with or without the meat.

How long will this Brussels sprout side dish keep in the refrigerator?

Leftovers can be stored for up to 5 days in the refrigerator in an airtight container.

Can different cheeses be used for this Brussels sprouts side dish recipe?

Of course.

Use what you have, or leave the cheese out entirely. It's your call!
