Don’t like Brussels sprouts? Unless they are cut in half Brussels sprouts will be bitter; the outside already mushy and the inside is still tough. Cook them just before serving; don't let them sit longer than 7-10 minutes. When Brussels sprouts are ready, they should be just tender, and bright green with a sweet and nutty taste.

• Rinse Brussels sprouts with cold water and drain.
• Trim the stem ends without cutting the base.
• Cut them lengthwise in half. This is important!
• Fill a large saucepan with water and bring to rolling boil.
• Add the Brussels sprouts and cook until just tender.
• Drain and drizzle sprouts with lemon-infused olive oil.
