    Notes

    Brussels sprouts size
    If you're using small brussels sprouts, It's better to leave them whole so that they don't become too soft. The large sprouts should be halved to cook perfectly.
    Thick sauce
    If your sauce is too thick, you can make it thinner by adding a small amount of vegetable or chicken broth.
    Garlic
    If you're not a fan of garlic, You can reduce the amount or use a teaspoon of garlic powder instead.
