Ingredients for Microwave Steamed Brussels sprouts:
- 300 grams of Brussels sprouts
- 1 pinch of garlic powder
- 1 pinch of chopped parsley
- 1 pinch of pepper
How to make Microwave Steamed Brussels Sprouts:
- Wash the Brussels sprouts, remove the outer leaves and cut the stems.
- If you want, you can cut the sprouts in half so that steaming them will cook faster.
- Place the sprouts in a microwave-safe bowl; add spices to taste and mix.
- We have chosen garlic powder, parsley and pepper, but you can vary them and even not add any so that the microwave steamed Brussels sprouts are more natural.
- Cover the container and cook in the microwave for 4 minutes at maximum power.
- When covered, the cabbage releases the water and manages to steam, giving the same result as if we did it in the steamer.
- After the time, we check the cooking and decide if we cook them for a couple more minutes or not.
- Depending on whether we like the cabbages more or less tender, or whether we cut them in half or not, we will need a little more time.
- We serve the steamed Brussels sprouts in the microwave on their own during dinner, with a drizzle of olive oil on top, as an accompaniment to another dish, such as a chickpea burger, we make a salad with them, we sauté them or we make them in the oven with béchamel The possibilities are endless!
