Sauteed Citrus Brussels Sprouts

We always make our Brussels spouts the same way...tossed in olive oil, garlic salt, and pepper and roasted. Don't get me wrong, they are delicious, but I thought I would try a different approach, and not only saute them, but jazz them up with a little citrus flavor. They were a success, and I'm definitely going to keep this recipe in mind the next time I make Brussels sprouts! 

Ingredients

About 4 cups of Brussels sprouts

3 Tbsp olive oil

2 Tbsp orange juice (fresh squeezed)

2Tbsp light corn syrup

Salt & Pepper to taste

2 Tbsp orange peel

Cut off the stems of your Brussels sprouts and then slice each one in half.

Heat the olive oil in a skillet on medium heat, add Brussels sprouts and cook for about 15 minutes.

Add the orange juice, and the corn syrup and cook for another 3 minutes.

Add some salt and pepper to taste, and the orange peel. Serve immediately, and enjoy!
