This is one of my favorite ways to cook Brussels sprouts! This recipe for Brussels sprouts with balsamic and garlic is quick, easy, and incredibly delicious. If you’ve never tried sautéed Brussels sprouts, you’re in for a treat. Rubbing them helps them cook faster in the pan, making them soft and delicious.

You can use butter or oil – I prefer oil because I’ve found it stays crispier. Dried dill works better than freeze dried dill, in my experience! It is slightly ground and has a strong taste. The same method can work with pretzels, cheez its, mini saltines, or popcorn! As written these will be very focused! If you prefer a lighter ranch cracker, use two bags of crackers instead of one. (But for me – I like a cracker with tons of ranch flavor in it!)

Why eat matzo? If you grew up with matzo ball soup, you may like the familiar taste (and I’m sure a lot of fun) using it, but don’t worry, breadcrumbs work just as well.
