Honey Lime Brussels Sprouts

These honey-lime Brussels sprouts are crispy, citrusy, and just sweet enough to keep everyone from pushing veggies to the side of the plate. They cook fast in one skillet and pair perfectly with heavier mains like mojo pork. Cheap, simple, and actually something the crew will eat.
