Notes
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat leftovers in the microwave in 30-minute intervals or on the stove top with a little broth, water, or olive oil.
- Steamer basket: This OXO stainless steel steamer basket is simple, but it gets the job done, and it’s been my go-to for years. See more options in The Best Steamer Baskets.
- Brussels sprouts: Seek out sprouts of a similar size, if possible. When everything is cut in the same general size, it’s easier to ensure even cooking. Store raw Brussels sprouts in an airtight container in your crisper drawer. Trim stems and remove any discolored or loose outer leaves before cooking.
- Yield: One pound of fresh Brussels sprouts makes 4 cups of steamed Brussels sprouts (4 servings, 1 cup each).
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat leftovers in the microwave in 30-minute intervals or on the stove top with a little broth, water, or olive oil.
