Notes
- We served our microwave Brussels sprouts with some butter and a generous amount of salt and pepper. However you could also add some Parmesan and red chilli flakes.
- A big splash of soy sauce is a nice way to flavour them, and they are delicious on top of some noodles this way.
- We used fresh sprouts for this recipe. If you are using frozen then you will need to use less water and cook for longer.
- You don't want overcooked and mushy sprouts. Every microwave varies, so cook it for 4 minutes and then cook for 30 seconds at a time more until the desired doneness.
- Add some paprika and cayenne is nice if you want a smoky flavour.
