Are Brussels Sprouts Keto?

How to Prepare Your Brussels Sprouts:
To get your Brussels sprouts ready to cook you need to start by washing them under cold water and gently patting them dry with a paper towel to remove the excess water.
Using a sharp knife cut the tough stem end off of each sprout and then cut the sprout in half length-wise.
