These Cider-Glazed Brussels Sprouts are tender yet still have a bite to them, which is a far cry from the Brussels Sprouts I remember as a child, which were almost always overcooked and mushy. Serve these Cider-Glazed Brussels Sprouts as a side dish at Thanksgiving or Christmas.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 1/2 pounds Brussels Sprouts, trimmed and with an x cut on the bottom
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, sliced thinly
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup apple cider
  • Freshly ground black pepper

PREPARATION:

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook trimmed Brussels Sprouts for 6-8 minutes, until crisp-tender. Drain water.

In a large skillet, heat oil on medium and saute garlic and red onion. Add Brussels Sprouts and apple cider. Cook on high until cider is reduced and Brussels sprouts are tender.

Serves 6
