Recipe Notes
Brussels sprouts sizeIf 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 sauceIf your sauce is too thick, you can make it thinner by adding a small amount of vegetable or chicken broth.
GarlicIf you're not a fan of garlic, You can reduce the amount or use a teaspoon of garlic powder instead.
