Steamed shredded brussel sprouts!

Tear off the outer leaves until you get to clean tender leaves.
Chop the sprouts like shredded cabbage for coleslaw - the brussel sprouts are like mini cabbages.
place shredded brussel sprouts in a microwaveable bowl with coarsely chopped garlic (however much you want)
Add 1 tsp butter and 1Tblsp creme fraise per person.
Cover with clear wrap - tight - and microwave for 3 minutes (1-2 servings) or up to 6 minutes (6 servings).
The sprouts should be crunchy but tender and cooked. Toss so the creme and garlic and butter are evenly distributed.
Lower calorie version would use butter substitute and greek yogurt for creme fraise.

I hated brussel sprouts until I tried this. Wonderful!

    If you haven't tried baby brussel sprouts, try them! So much yummier than the mini cabbages you get at most grocery stores.

    Nom, nom, nom... (Recipe sounds fabulous!)
