Steamed Brussels Sprouts With Browned Butter And Lemon Zest - 7.5g Carbs, 2g Fiber

1 pint Brussels sprouts, outer leaves removed, bottoms trimmed, halved
1/2 stick butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 lemon, grated for rind, then halved

In a medium cooking pot with a tight-fitting lid, set a steamer basket over 1 1/2 inches water. Add Brussels sprouts, and steam over high heat until tender, about 10 minutes. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add salt and cook, watching carefully, until butter sizzles, browns slightly, and gives off a nutty aroma. Squeeze juice from lemon halves into the pan and add the zest. Stir in Brussels sprouts; cook, shaking pan occasionally, until warmed through.
