Brussels Sprouts and Carrots with Almonds


If your Brussels sprouts are really big, you may want to cut them into six wedges.



  • YIELD: 4 servings (serving size: 3/4 cup)

  • 1 tablespoon butter or stick margarine
  • 1 1/2 cups julienne-cut carrot
  • 3 cups trimmed Brussels sprouts, quartered (about 3/4 pound)
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon sliced almonds, toasted
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the carrot; sauté 4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Add Brussels sprouts; sauté 5 minutes or until crisp-tender. Add parsley and remaining ingredients; cook 30 seconds or until the sugar melts, stirring constantly.
