One cup Brussel Sprouts-o cal
1 Tbsp  Butter-102 cal
1 clove of garlic-0 cal
Hefty squirt of lemon juice-0 cal
1 tsp Parmesan Cheese-20 cal
dash of pepper to taste-0cal

Slice the Sprouts into halves

cut the tbsp of butter into 4 pieces and put to 2 peices in a pan on med-high heat.

Place the Brussel Sprouts sliced side down in the pan once the butter has melted. let them cook on med-high heat until the cut side is completely browned. Stirring occasionally to prevent burning and flip back over any that have rolled onto the round side.

chop or mince garlic, and add to the lemon juice, parm cheese, pepper. Add in the to leftover pieces of butter.

Once the sprouts are done cooking, place on low heat and add the sauce mixture. Stir constantly just until the butter is melted and remove from heat.

Total: 123 Cal.

I never liked brussel sprouts until I had them like this. the 'sauce' works AMAZINGLY on asparagus AND it is a 0 cal food as well.

Instead of cooking in a pan, you would make the sauce, with the whole piece of butter-still cut into 4's, and it put on a handful of asparagus in an oven safe pan and bake it at 375f for about 15 min. make sure you trim the bottoms on the asparagus because they are too tough to eat.

Total calories are the same.

Also I used butter instead of Olive oil because Olive oil is 130 cal per table spoon. BUT I'd suggest using olive oil because even though the cal is high, it has other necessary benefits :)
