BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH LEMON AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Pour the olive oil into a small saucepan. Remove wide strips of zest from the lemon using a vegetable peeler, taking care not to get the white pith. Add the zest to the olive oil and heat over medium heat until the zest is sizzling, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
• Put the Brussels sprouts on a rimmed baking sheet; drizzle the olive oil over the sprouts, leaving the zest in the pan. Toss the Brussels sprouts and spread in a single layer (it's OK if some of the leaves fall off). Season with 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.
• Broil, stirring often, until the Brussels sprouts are tender and charred in spots, 12 to 15 minutes. Meanwhile, thinly slice the reserved lemon zest; add to the Brussels sprouts along with the garlic during the last 2 minutes of broiling. Transfer to a bowl, add the chives and toss. Season with salt and pepper.

INSTANT POT BACON LEMON BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Place a steamer basket inside of a 6-quart or larger Instant Pot. Pour in the water and then add the Brussels sprouts. Lock the lid and make sure the vent is set to seal. Cook on high pressure for 2 minutes. Once done, manually release the pressure until all the steam has been released and the lid has unlocked. If you allow the pressure to release naturally, the sprouts will become mushy.
• Carefully open the lid, remove the steamer basket with the sprouts and set aside. Drain the liquid from the inner bowl and return to the pressure cooker. Press the sauté function and add the bacon. Cook, stirring often, until the bacon has browned. Stir in the shallots and garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until softened. Add the Brussels sprouts and sauté for a minute longer.
