🥘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 tablespoon lemon zest * Optional

📋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.
