Brussels Sprouts with Crisp Prosciutto

Yield: 6 servings (serving size: about 3/4 cup)

Ingredients

• 3  cups  trimmed halved Brussels sprouts (about 1 1/2 pounds)
• 1/4  cup  chopped prosciutto (about 1 1/2 ounces)
• Cooking spray
• 1  tablespoon  butter
• 1/2  teaspoon  salt
• 1/4  teaspoon  freshly ground black pepper
• 1  tablespoon  fresh lemon juice

Preparation

Cook Brussels sprouts in boiling water 3 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain.

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat; add prosciutto. Cook 6 minutes or until crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove from pan; set aside.

Heat pan coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add Brussels sprouts; sauté 3 minutes or until lightly browned. Add butter, salt, and pepper, stirring until butter melts. Remove from heat; drizzle with juice. Add prosciutto; toss to combine.

Note: Pull off any limp outer leaves, and closely trim the stem end-don't cut too much off, or the Brussels sprouts may fall apart.
