Ingredients

• 500 grams Carrots
• 300 grams Brussels sprouts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the carrots. Slice them diagonally into thin rounds, about 1/4-inch thick.

Step 2

Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellowing outer leaves. Cut the sprouts in half lengthwise.

Step 3

Finely chop the garlic cloves and roughly chop the fresh mint leaves.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the carrots and Brussels sprouts to the skillet. Stir to coat them in the garlic and oil.

Step 7

Pour in 1 cup of water, cover the skillet, and let the vegetables steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender yet still slightly crisp.

Step 8

Remove the lid, allowing any remaining water to evaporate. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 9

Season the vegetables with salt and black pepper, tossing to combine. Sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes to achieve a light golden color.

Step 10

Turn off the heat, stir in the fresh mint leaves, and drizzle the lemon juice on top for a bright, fresh flavor.

Step 11

Transfer the dish to a serving platter and serve warm.
