Ingredients
Directions
Boil a medium-large pot of water (enough to cover the Brussels sprouts).
Once boiling, add the Brussels sprouts and cook for 10 minutes or until tender.
Strain the Brussels sprouts, then transfer them to a medium stovetop pan.
In the meantime, make the lemon sauce: In a small bowl, add all of the sauce ingredients and whisk or stir until the arrowroot is dissolved.
Heat the Brussels sprouts on medium-high heat for 1–2 minutes, continuously stirring to avoid sticking (add a tablespoon or two of water if they start to stick).
Stir in the lemon sauce and turn down the heat to medium. Cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.
