Keto Brussels Sprouts with Pecans
This Keto side is super simple to make and can be on the table in a matter of minutes!
Start by washing your Brussels sprouts, snipping the stem, and removing the outer leaves (if they are blemished). Place them into a saucepan along with the bone broth. Cook them on medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes until tender, but still a bit crisp.
Remove them from the liquid, and allow them to cool slightly before slicing in half lengthwise.
Melt your butter in a skillet over medium heat; once hot, add the onions and saute until softened. Add the sprouts to the skillet and stir to coat in the melted butter. Push the sprouts and onions aside, and add your pecans to the empty skillet space. Toast those pecans for a few minutes before tossing with your sprouts.
Voila! Your beautiful side is done ~ and it only took a matter of a few minutes!
