Serve your family a super simple and scrumptious side dish that's good for everyday or even holiday meals. If you can't find the frozen shaved Brussels sprouts, simply slice fresh ones and be sure to have 9 oz. total when finished.

9 oz. bag frozen Green Giant shaved/sliced Brussels sprouts
drizzle of extra virgin olive oil
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste

Add garlic; saute for 1 minute or until very fragrant. Add maple syrup; stir to coat. Season to taste, adding more salt, pepper, and/or maple syrup, if desired.
