How To Make Creamy Cucumber Salad (Easy, Healthy, Delicious)

September 27, 2022 by officially gluten free Leave a Comment

This Delicious Creamy Cucumber Salad Recipe is made with only 5 Budget-Friendly Ingredients! The Simple Salad is made with thinly sliced English Cucumbers generously drenched in Sour Cream, and seasoned with a little Fresh Dill and cracked Salt and Pepper. It’s the perfect Low Carb Side Dish or makes a Refreshing Gluten Free Snack that comes together in Minutes.

What is Cucumber Salad?

Cucumber Salad is a total classic! It’s light, refreshing, and easy to make. There are two different versions of Cucumber Salad that you might find, one having a light vinegar dressing, the other being a creamy version. This recipe is for the creamy version. There are slight variations out there, of course, but this version is our absolute favourite.

What’s in Cucumber Salad?

This salad only uses simple and budget-friendly ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:

Cucumbers: I recommend English cucumbers as they’re sweeter, have a slightly thinner skin, with less seeds. You can use any type of cucumbers for this salad.
White Onion: I use a white onion here, but red onion or scallions would also be delicious.
Dill: Fresh dill really makes this salad taste so fresh and delicious.
Sour Cream: Makes up the base of the creamy sauce in this salad.
Salt & Pepper: Season to taste.

How Do You Make Creamy Cucumber Salad?

To make this delicious Low Carb Creamy Cucumber Salad:

Step 1: Use a peeler or knife to remove some of the cucumber’s skin. Then Slice the cucumber into thin slices and add to a mixing bowl.

Step 2: Mince the onion and add it along with the cucumbers. Chop the fresh dill and add it to the bowl as well. Next add the salt and pepper to the salad.

Step 3: Add the sour cream and mix until the cucumber slices are completely coated in the sour cream.

How Long Will it Last in the Fridge?

It’s easy to devour this salad in one sitting, especially if you’re serving it for a small group. But if you have leftovers, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 to 3 days. Just note that the salad will become a bit watery over time.

Dressing: Creamy or Vinaigrette

I like the creaminess of the sour cream version of this salad but the vinaigrette version is also delicious. If you prefer a Cucumber Salad with a Vinegar Style Dressing, you can simply replace the dressing in this recipe with:

1/4 cup white vinegar, rice or cider vinegar
2 tablespoons light olive oil
2 teaspoons sugar (or low carb substitute)
2 tablespoons fresh dill
salt & pepper

To Make This Cucumber Salad Ahead

If your eating the cucumber salad immediately, it won’t matter as much but when making ahead, it can become watery over time. One way to avoid the extra water is to season cucumbers with salt in a large colander and let sweat 1 hour.

WHAT IS THE KETOGENIC DIET?

The ketogenic diet (often called keto) is a very low-carb, high-fat diet that shares similarities to paleo, Whole30, and Atkins. It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake, and replacing it with fat. When your body switches to burning fat for its primary fuel source, that’s when you hit ketosis.

Recipe Notes:

– Use a mandoline slicer to cut the cucumbers in this recipe for even slicing that’s extra thin.

The Best Keto Chili Recipe

June 29, 2022 by officially gluten free Leave a Comment

This Keto Chili Recipe features tender ground beef, hot Italian sausage, bacon, peppers, and onions that are simmered in a rich tomato base. This easy stovetop low carb no bean chili is great for dinner or lunch and the leftovers freeze well!

Ingredients Needed To Make This Chili Recipe:

Want to give this low carb chili recipe a shot? You won’t regret it! These are the ingredients: ground beef, sausage, bacon, celery, onion, garlic, cumin, paprika, oregano and salt.

How To Make Keto Chili on the Stove Top

Step 1: First fry the bacon until crispy and set aside for later. Brown the ground beef and sausage together next over medium-high heat in a large pot or skillet.

Step 2: Drain the fat from pot and add the diced onion and celery, minced garlic and chopped peppers to the pot. Let cook while stiring for 4 – 5 mins, then add the spices.

Step 3: Add the canned diced tomatoes and let simmer for 20 minutes, stiring a few times throughout. Next add the tomato paste to the pot and stir until it’s fully combined. Reduce to low heat and simmer uncovered for another 15 – 20 minutes or until chili reaches desired thickness. Then chop up the bacon and add to the chili before serving.

How To Make Keto Chili In A Slow Cooker

Brown the meat as directed, drain off any grease and transfer to a slow cooker.
Add the remaining ingredients, stir well. Cook on low for 6-8 hours

How To Make Keto Chili In The Instant Pot

Press the “Sauté” button on the Instant Pot. Add the ground beef and sausage to the pot and cook until brown. Once the meat is browned set Instant Pot to “keep warm/cancel”. Add the remaining ingredients plus add 2/3 cup of water, then cover and lock the lid. Make sure the steam valve is closed. Select Bean/Chili setting (30 mins). Allow the pressure to release naturally or use the quick release. Stir chili before serving!

Is Chili Keto?

Normally, no. Most chili recipes contain beans. This brings the carb count too high to be considered low carb or keto-friendly. This recipe for low carb, keto chili requires no beans or tricky ingredients that are hard to find.

What if I’m not on Keto?

If you’re not living a low carb lifestyle, you can feel free to add some heartiness to this recipe by adding some canned beans. Feel free to use either pinto beans or kidney beans. Either way, it turns out delicious. Just make sure you are using canned beans and not dry beans.

Can I add anything else to low carb chili?

Aside from the low carb toppings mentioned below, you can also add additional vegetables to keto chili if you’d like. More veggies means more fiber, which will make this chili more filling. Things like zucchini, mushrooms, and cauliflower can be sautéed with the onion and pepper.

The Best Keto Chili Toppings

Bacon
Shredded cheese
Chopped green onions
Chopped avocado
Fresh or pickled jalapeño slices
Chopped Red Onion
Sour cream
Guacamole
Chopped Cilantro or Parsley

The Best Keto Chili Recipe

This is the Best Keto Chili Recipe because it’s loaded with 3 kinds of delicious meat, Ground Beef, Sausage and Bacon!!! Usings 3 types of meat not only means tons of protein but it also adds so much more flavour to the chili. You really don’t miss the beans!!! The recipe requires minimal effort and only uses simple and easy to find ingredients like ground beef, sausage and canned tomatoes. The low carb chili is also naturally high in protein and is paleo as well as gluten and dairy free.

Looking for some more delicious Keto Recipes? You’re in luck! I have some of my readers favourite recipes to share. Their number one favourite are these Keto Bacon Dill Pickle Fat Bombs. Everyone loves how quick and easy they are to make. Another one of Their favourites, are these tasty Keto Jalapeño Popper Taquitos. They’re perfect for impressing party guests or for spoiling someone special.

Recipe Notes:

– This chili recipe is thick and hearty. If you prefer a chili that is not quite as thick, simply add a little water until it reaches the desired thickness.

– To thicken keto chili, you can bring it to a boil, turn down the heat, and simmer it with the lid off. As it simmers, the liquid begins to evaporate, which thickens the chili. Make sure you stir it occasionally.

– Store bought chili seasoning can be used for this recipe if preferred. Just swap out the spices for chili sesaoning. (make sure it’s gluten free) Taco seasoning also works well if needed.

– You can skip the sausage in this recipe and use just ground beef or ground turkey if desired. You can also use regular sausage if you don’t like it spicy.

– Add a little water before reheating this chili. If you like it thick just add a small amount. If you like it runny… add a bit more.

Mediterranean Broccoli Salad

June 22, 2022 by officially gluten free Leave a Comment

This Mediterranean Broccoli Salad is quick and refreshing! It features four simple key ingredients: broccoli, cucumbers, purple cabbage and parsley. The summery salad is tossed in a light lemony dressing and topped with feta cheese!

Ingredients you’ll need

To make this deliciously summery broccoli salad, you’ll need broccoli, cucumbers, purple cabbage (which has a lot less carbs than red onion), fresh garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, dried oregano and salt.

What else can I add to this?

This basic Mediterranean salad has several variations and you can change it up to your liking. Here are a few ideas:

Add chopped onions such as red onions, shallots, or green onions.
Use more fresh herbs! In addition to parsley, you can add some chopped fresh mint leaves or dill.
Toss in some tomato, I do sometimes add small pieces of tomatoes.
Olives are a great addition to this Mediterranean style salad. They also make a great garnish.
Add crispy crumbled bacon to the top of the salad.

How to make a Mediterranean Broccoli Salad

Chop the vegetables and herbs. I like this recipe best with the raw broccoli chopped into bite size pieces, the cucumbers unpeeled and minced into small pieces, the purple cabbage chopped small, and the garlic and parsley chopped finely.
Dress the salad. This salad has a really simple dressing that can be made right over the vegetables. Sprinkle the ingredients with, olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and lemon juice.
Add in the cubes of feta cheese. While this does call for the feta cheese cubed, you could also use crumbled.
Toss the salad to combine and enjoy.

Storing Leftovers

This Mediterranean broccoli salad is best when eaten right after it is made. That being said, it will still be delicious as leftovers. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.

Is Mediterranean broccoli salad Keto friendly?

Yes, this broccoli salad is ok to eat on a keto diet. It’s keto, gluten free and low carb and is loaded with fiber. It’s also a very affordable keto option. It’s the perfect keto side dish for bbqs and picnics.

WHAT IS THE KETOGENIC DIET?

Keto Mediterranean Broccoli Salad Recipe

This Keto Mediterranean Broccoli Salad Recipe requires minimal effort and only uses simple and easy to find ingredients like Broccoli, Purple Cabbage and Cucumber. The delicious Mediterranean salad are also naturally high in fiber and is paleo and low carb as well as gluten free.

Since this broccoli salad is such a summery dish I like to serve it with an equally summery side dish like my Keto Chicken Kabobs or my Grilled Chicken Satay. They’re perfect for impressing guests or for spoiling someone special.

Recipe Notes:

– The mayonnaise can be switched out for greek yogurt if preferred.

– You can use red onion in place of the purple cabbage. I like to use purple cabbage instead because it has considerably less of carbs than the red onion does. I also like the crunch that the cabbage adds.

– This salad recipe can be made with store bought greek dressing instead of using the lemon juice and olive oil.

June 8, 2022 by officially gluten free Leave a Comment

These Grilled Chicken Kabobs are made with a flavourful homemade marinade and colourful vegetables that are grilled to perfection. The recipe is great as an appetizer when entertaining or a light dinner the whole family would enjoy.

What are Grilled Chicken Kabobs?

Chicken kabobs are cubes of marinated chicken and colourful vegetables, skewered and grilled to perfection. The bold kabob marinade makes all the difference in giving you tender grilled kabobs that are packed with flavour!

What Ingredients do you need to make Grilled Chicken Kabobs?

For this recipe you’ll need boneless, skinless chicken breasts and vegetables. I like to use bell peppers, zucchini and onion. You’ll also need to make a marinade for the chicken. We made a sugar free and low carb marinade with garlic and onion powder, cumin, paprika, salt, lime juice and olive oil. You will also need metal or wooden skewers.

Marinading The Chicken Kebabs

It’s important when you marinate chicken that you keep a few things in mind.

Chicken should marinate for 1/2 hour to 24 hours. For this recipe I’m recommending 1/2 hour, but you could definitely start the marinade the night before.
Do not marinate chicken for more than 24 hours. It will make the chicken gummy and unappetizing.

Finally, though we are only marinating the chicken, it will impact the flavour of the vegetables. The vegetables will pick up the flavour of the marinade on the grill and be delicious alongside the chicken.

How to Make Grilled Chicken Kebabs with Vegetables

Step 1: Make the Marinade

Step 2: Marinate the Chicken

Step 3: Assemble the Kebabs

Step 4: Grill the Kebabs

Substitutions for Chicken Kebabs

– Pieces of steak or pork can be substituted for chicken, but cook times will vary.

– Use any bell peppers in this recipe. Coloured peppers like red, orange and yellow are sweeter than green.

– Use white, sweet onions or purple onions.

– Add fresh mushrooms, cherry tomatoes or even fresh pineapple to these skewers.

WHAT IS THE KETOGENIC DIET?

Grilled Chicken Kabobs with Vegetables

We love grilling shish kabobs for dinner because they are full of flavour, easy to make and fun to eat. Grilled kabobs have an advantage over other grilled chicken recipes: the bite-size pieces of chicken soak up extra flavour from the marinade so that every bite is intensely flavourful and satisfying. The delicious chicken kabobs are gluten, sugar and dairy free, low carb and keto, which makes them an awesome dish for feeding groups of people with diverse dietary needs.

Since these chicken skewers are such a summery dish I like to serve them with an equally summery side dish like my Loaded Broccoli and Cauliflower Salad or my Smashed Brussels Sprouts. They’re perfect for impressing guests or for spoiling someone special.

Recipe Notes:

– If using wooden skewers, you’ll need to soak the skewers in water before using.

– These Chicken Shish Kabobs cook on the grill for around 14 to 18 minutes. It is important to remember that if you cut your chicken bigger it will need to cook longer.

– Cut the chicken and vegetables into even sizes so they cook evenly.

– To cook in the oven: Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Place kabobs on the baking sheet and bake at 425° F for 24-30 minutes, turning them occasionally, until chicken is cooked to 165° F. I use kitchen tongs to turn the kabobs, as the skewers are hot.

Zucchini Noodles with Peanut Sauce

May 18, 2022 by officially gluten free Leave a Comment

These Keto Zucchini Noodles with Peanut Sauce are tossed in a creamy, savory and slightly spicy Thai curry and coconut milk sauce. It’s one of the simplest recipes to make and it’s full of delicious flavor. It’s also easy to customize so feel free to add protein or more vegetables to switch it up. It’s ready in less than 30 minutes and everyone always loves this beautiful and delicious Low Carb Vegetarian recipe.

What Is a Zucchini Noodle?

Zucchini Noodles also known as “Zoodles”, are a delicious and healthy gluten-free pasta alternative made from zucchini! They’re the ultimate pasta alternative. Inexpensive, gluten-free, and low in carbs, zucchini noodles can satisfy a pasta craving without sacrificing nutrition. They’re also paleo, vegan and keto friendly. Spiraled zucchini is my favorite way to eat them but they can also be made with a mandoline or julienne peeler. Slice the zucchini into noodles so it looks like pasta.

How do you Make Zucchini Noodles with Thai Peanut Sauce?

Step 1: Prep the zucchini

Step 2: Make the Thai peanut sauce

Step 3: Saute the zucchini

Step 4: Add the peanut sauce

How do you Make Low Carb Thai Peanut Sauce?

Blend the curry paste in a small pot with the vinegar and brown sugar (substitute). Then add the liquid from the coconut milk. Once it’s fully combined, add the the peanut butter. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then add, then stir in the cream from the can of coconut milk. Let simmer on low for 5 minutes.

How Do You Store Zucchini Noodles?

You can keep the leftovers in the fridge, in an airtight container, for about 3 days. Reheat them gently, on the stove top or in the microwave.

Can You Freeze Keto Zoodles?

I don’t recommend freezing zucchini noodles. Their water content is so high that once they’re thawed and reheated, they end up mushy and kinda gross.

What’s the best way to cook zucchini noodles?

The best way to cook Zucchini Noodles is to sauté them in oil or butter in a frying pan until tender. You can also Bake, boil or microwave them if preferred.

Should I Peel Zucchini before Spiralizing?

Don’t peel the zucchini before spiralizing. Once you peel the zucchini, the flesh is exposed and the moisture will start to seep out. This will give you a mushier noodle when you cook them. Instead, keep the skin on so that the noodles maintain their shape and all of the nutrients in the dark green skin.

What To Serve With Keto Zucchini Noodles and Thai Peanut Sauce

You can eat these delicious Zoodles all on their own or try adding some chicken or shrimp to the recipe. Check out my Keto Chicken with Peanut Sauce and my Keto Meatballs with Peanut Sauce. Both recipes would be a great addition to these yummy low carb noodles.

WHAT IS THE KETOGENIC DIET?

While on the Keto diet you’re supposed to get at least 70 percent of your calories from fat, 15 to 25 percent from protein, and 10 percent from carbohydrates. You’re supposed to avoid all grains, legumes, root vegetables, fruit, (except berries) and sugar.

Keto Zoodles with Peanut Sauce

This recipe for Keto Zoodles with Peanut Sauce is really easy to make. The sauce can be whipped up in a few minutes. It’s so tasty, you’ll want to add it to your regular dinner rotation. It’s made with a Thai Peanut sauce that’s slightly spicy but is still mild enough for a 10 year old to eat. Spiralized zucchini noodles are easy to find at the store, but they’re so much better when freshly cut.

Looking for some more delicious Keto Zucchini Recipes? You’re in luck! I have some of my families favourite recipes to share. Our absolute fav are these Bacon Zucchini Fries I love that they’re so easy and quick to make. Another one of our favourites, is these tasty Keto Zucchini Skins. They’re perfect for impressing dinner guests or for spoiling someone special. Let us know how they turned out for you in the comments below!

Recipe Notes:

– Make your zoodles ahead of time! This is the best time-saving tip. After you’ve spiralized several zucchini, line a large plastic or glass storage container with a paper towel, add your noodles and place in the refrigerator. They’ll stay fresh for 2-3 days.

– Larger zucchini are easier to spiralize and will yield more noodles. For serving sizes, plan on one medium zucchini per person.

– Placing your coconut milk in the fridge before using will help separate the cream from the liquid. Also opening the can upside down will make separating it easier.

-Using a Julienne Peeler: If you don’t have a spiralizer, you can easily make zoodles with this other common kitchen tool! Use your peeler to make long slices and then gently pull them apart until you have your desired noodle thickness.

Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms

May 11, 2022 by officially gluten free Leave a Comment

These Delicious Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms are white button mushroom caps stuffed with Italian sausage, sauerkraut and three kinds of cheese. These mushrooms are naturally keto, gluten free, low carb and only require a handful of ingredients. They can also be prepped ahead of time, making them the perfect party appetizer!

What kind of mushrooms are best for stuffed mushrooms?

I like to use regular white button mushrooms for my stuffed mushrooms because they have a mild flavor that pairs perfectly with the savory sausage filling. You can also use large portobello mushrooms if you’re looking for an entree sized stuffed mushroom.

What cheese is best for sausage stuffed mushrooms?

I use three types of cheese in these mushrooms: cream cheese, parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese. The cream cheese acts as a binder, the parmesan adds flavor and shredded Mozzarella’s mild creaminess complements the stronger flavors of the sausage. Other great cheese options are fontina, monterey jack or cheddar cheese.

How long do you bake stuffed mushrooms?

Sausage stuffed mushrooms need to bake for about 20 minutes. The mushrooms are done when the tops are crispy and browned and the mushroom caps are tender all the way through.

Can Stuffed Mushrooms be made in an Air fryer?

Yes, it would work well. Fry them at 400°F for 7-8 minutes or so. You would need to do this in batches so the mushrooms will fit in a single layer.

How do you clean mushrooms?

Mushrooms are very absorbent, so if you wash them or submerge them in water, they can become rubbery when you cook them. Instead, use a damp paper towel and wipe them off.

Can you freeze Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms?

Stuffed mushrooms can be frozen! Add assembled but unbaked stuffed mushrooms to a wax/parchment paper lined baking sheet and place in the freezer for about 2 hours, or until frozen solid. Transfer to a freezer-safe container, label with the date, and freeze for up to 3 months.

How do you make sausage stuffed mushrooms?

To make the delicious Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms:

Step 1: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. Wipe mushrooms clean with lightly damp paper towels (I used 24 medium mushrooms). Remove stems and scoop out the brown gills from inside the mushrooms, being careful not to break through the shell. Place the mushroom caps into a mixing bowl and cover with olive oil. Gently stir until the mushrooms are coated in the oil. Arrange mushroom caps with the opening facing up on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 2: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook sausage until browned, breaking it apart with your spatula into crumbles. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and 1/2 cup sauerkraut. Let cook for 1 or 2 minutes then, remove from heat. Stir in salt and pepper and 1/2 cup cream cheese along with 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese.

Step 3: Divide the sausage mixture between the mushroom caps then cover each of them with the remaining mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle them with parmesan cheese and bake uncovered in the center of the oven for 18 – 20 minutes.

To Reheat: The best way to reheat leftover stuffed mushrooms is in the oven. Place the mushrooms in a baking dish in the oven at 350 degrees F. In a pinch, you can rewarm in the microwave.
To Freeze: Add assembled but unbaked stuffed mushrooms to a wax/parchment paper lined baking sheet and place in the freezer for about 2 hours, or until frozen solid. Transfer to a freezer-safe container, label with the date, and freeze for up to 3 months.
You can use any type of sausage that you like. I typically use a mild Italian sausage, but hot works just as well. You can buy bulk sausage, or simply remove the casings from the sausage before you cook it.
The stuffed mushrooms can be made in an oven proof skillet instead of a baking pan.
The left over mushroom stems can be diced up and added to the sausage mixture or can be saved for future stir fry, soups, omelettes or casseroles.
Garnish the Stuffed mushrooms with fresh parsley, thyme or chopped green onion.
The Sauerkraut can be swapped out with diced white onion if preferred. You can also skip it altogether.

Smashed Brussel Sprout Recipe with Parmesan Cheese

Ingredients You’ll Need to Make these Yummy Smashed Brussels Sprouts:

I used a store bought garlic puree but you can swap it our for minced garlic or garlic powder. Lastly you’ll need parmesan cheese. This will help the brussel sprouts to get extra crispy.

How Do You Make Smashed Brussel Sprouts?

To make this delicious Keto Smashed Brussels Sprouts Recipe:

Step 1: Start by preheating your oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, then trim the bottoms off of the brussel sprouts.

Step 2: Next steam or boil them until they are fork tender (around 15 minutes). If you are using frozen brussel sprouts, cook them according to the package directions. Strain them, then set them aside in a colander and cool for a few minutes.

Step 3: Toss the brussel sprouts with melted butter (or olive oil), garlic and salt, then spread them out onto your prepared baking dish.

Step 4: Use the bottom of a cup to smash them flat. Evenly spoon the grated parmesan cheese onto the top of the smashed brussel sprouts.

Step 5: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese turns a deep golden brown and the edges of the Brussels sprouts are crispy.

Common Questions about making Smashed Brussels Sprouts

Why Do the Brussel Spouts need to be boiled? They need to be boiled to soften them enough to be smashed. I like to give them a quick boil first but you can also steam them on the stove or in the microwave, if that’s easiest for you.

Are larger or smaller Brussel Sprouts better for roasting? You can use either but smaller sprouts will get a bit crispier in the oven so that’s my personal preference. If you do have any giant sprouts you could halve them after boiling.

Can I use frozen Brussel Sprouts? Yes, you can use fresh or frozen brussel sprouts for this recipe. If using frozen, I generally use a 12 ounce package.

Are Smashed Brussels Sprouts Keto friendly? Yes they are keto friendly. 1/4 of the batch has 9 g of carbs but they are also high in fiber so that gives them 6 g net carbs in total. That makes them a great keto side dish, paired up with a steak or chicken breast.

What kind of pan is best for this recipe? I like to use a rimmed baking sheet pan.

What temperature is best for roasted Brussel sprouts? Roasting Brussel sprouts needs to be done at high heat such as 425. Lower heat such as 350, will bake them and not roast them. High heat equals crisp edges.

Recipe Notes For Making The Best Smashed Brussels Sprouts:

– You can use fresh or frozen brussel sprouts for this recipe. If using frozen, I generally use a 12 ounce package.

– This recipe uses garlic puree. I used a store bought garlic puree that comes in a jar but you can puree your own in a food processor or use a mortar and pestle to smash it up. You can also just swap it our for minced garlic or garlic powder if you want to.

– You can also use a potato masher or fork to gently smash each brussel sprout.

– The Parmesan Cheese can be swapped out for mozzarella cheese if preferred.

– Olive oil can be switched out for the butter if needed.

– To get the brussel sprouts extra flat and crispy, boil or steam them a little longer.

Ingredients

1 lb Brussel Sprouts
2 Tbsp Butter
1 Tsp Garlic puree
1/4 Cup Parmesan Cheese
1/2 Tsp Salt

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F, then line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Trim the bottoms and any bruised leaves off of the brussel sprouts. Next steam or boil them until they're fork tender (about 15 minutes). If you are using frozen brussel sprouts, cook them according to the package directions. Strain them, then set them aside in a colander and cool for a few minutes.
Toss the brussel sprouts with melted butter (or olive oil) and garlic and salt, then spread them out onto your prepared baking dish. Use the bottom of a cup to smash them flat.
Evenly spoon the grated parmesan cheese onto the top of the smashed brussel sprouts. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese turns a deep golden brown and the edges of the brussel sprouts are crispy.
