Lemon Pepper Brussels Sprouts

April 15, 2021 by Dinner Tonight

Brussels sprouts are a nutritious vegetable packed with antioxidants, fiber, and vitamin C.  Deliciously sautéed or roasted Brussels sprouts for 30-40 minutes will have an exceptional caramelized flavor with a crispy center.  However, sautéing and steaming just under 15 minutes in your Instant Pot provides a nutritious side dish with just as much rich flavor. Save some cooking time and add the Lemon Pepper Brussels Sprouts to your weekly menu.
