Low Carb Creamed Brussels Sprouts Pins (5)

These Low Carb Creamed Brussels Sprouts Recipe is fantastic! I am no fan of the plain steamed Brussels Spouts, but these are on my new list of favorite sides dishes.

The gooey cheese and sour cream balance the natural bitterness of this nutritional powerhouse veggie perfectly!

🥘Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced

You can use a half teaspoon of powdered garlic if you don't have fresh garlic on hand.

  • 1 lb. Brussels sprouts whole, quartered, halved or shredded

If your Brussels Sprouts are small you can leave them whole. But I like to at least cut them in half so that the cheese can infiltrate their layers.

I really like shredded sprouts but Thom ( the Keto Guy) loves them whole, so we compromise and half or quarter them.

  • ¼ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes plus more for garnish

You can skip this ingredient if you don't love spicy...but red pepper flakes give this dish a kick.

  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • One Half teaspoon Black pepper
  • ½ cup Sour Cream
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise - full fat
  • ½ tablespoon lemon zest * Optional

  • green onions / chives chopped

  • chopped bacon
  • cherry tomato slices

📋Tips & FAQ's:

Can I make this dish ahead of time?

Yes, it keeps well for 3-4 days in the fridge. I wouldn't suggest freezing it because of the mayo and sour cream though. It'll probably be watery.

Can I make this without the mayo?

Yes, you can just sub in cream cheese or more sour cream in it's place. Although, the mayo makes this taste special and I encourage you to try it.

I know that it might sound weird to bake with mayonnaise but it's delicious in this dish.

That's it for the Creamed Brussels Sprouts!

I hope you love them. There has been a lot of experimenting with Brussels Sprouts going on lately and I realized something...

I never hated Brussels Sprouts, I hated the boring way I was preparing them. Steamed...blah.

But this is different because cheese lol.

Even the teen ate some of these. Not many, they aren't magic Brussels Sprouts. But she did put some of this creamy side on her plate of her own volition and that's a HUGE step.

Ta Ta for now friends!
