Sautéed Brussels Sprouts with Italian Seasoned Breadcrumbs and Parmesan Cheese

I know, right?  Brussels sprouts.  Who likes those?  Well, a lot of people actually do.  Brussels sprouts are also packed with nutrients and yes, they are very good for you.  In addition to other nutrients – vitamin A, calcium, fiber, and even 3 grams of protein can be found in just 1 cup of these little gems. 

I have yet to convince my family that this is something that should be in our meal rotation at this point, but I often get some for myself at the grocery store and do a quick sauté of them for a healthy and very filling lunch.    You want to make sure you don’t cook brussels sprouts for too long as they tend to start to taste not so good.

Not too long ago, a girlfriend made dinner for me and another friend who was in town and guess what she served, you got it, sautéed brussels sprouts.  The one element about her dish that I really loved was the addition of the Italian seasoned breadcrumbs giving the dish a nice crunch!
