Crispy Garlic-Citrus Brussels Sprouts

I know. People have VERY strong feelings about Brussels Sprouts. If your grandmother used to steam these mini cabbages until they were slimy soggy fart balls then chances are, you are not a fan.

So why bother with Brussels Sprouts? Well, I am here to blow your MF'ing mind! Brussels Sprouts taste awesome. You just gotta know how to cook them.

These suckers are high in fiber. Most of North American's get 10X LESS fiber then they need for health and proper bowel function (translation - good poops). They are also a member of the cruciferous family which are basically the anti-cancer squad. Fuck Cancer.

Here is a quick and easy recipe to get everyone at the table gobbling up these little green nutrition bullets and begging for more.

Serves 4

INGREDIENTS

1 lb Brussels sprouts (washed, ends removed, halved)

2-3 cloves of garlic (minced)
