Brussels Sprouts with Prosciutto is an aromatic side dish looks elegant and that takes less than 20 minutes to prepare! A great side dish for Thanksgiving, Christmas, really any time of year! The prosciutto adds a nice depth of flavor and a crunch to the sauteed Brussels Sprouts!
Brussels sprouts are one of my most favorite vegetables, ever! This dish is so easy to prepare and is truly a great dish to prepare for the Holiday Season! I love prosciutto as well so the combination is a no-brainer for me! The prosciutto is browned and the Brussels Sprouts soak up extra flavor.

Uncooked Brussels Sprouts should be kept in the fridge in a storage bag in the veggie drawer for about 1 week.
