Pour ¼ cup water into a medium to large microwave safe bowl.
Add the brussel sprouts and cover with plastic wrap. Leave a gap on one side so that the steam can escape.
Microwave for 4-8 minutes until they reach desired doneness, occasionally stirring during cooking.
Drain any excess water, season and serve immediately.

There is no need to thaw frozen brussels sprouts.
If your frozen brussels sprouts are covered with a thick layer of ice, you can run them under cold water for a few seconds.
When air frying or roasting brussel sprouts, keep the frozen brussel sprouts in a single layer so they cook through and the edges get crispy.
When microwaving or cooking frozen brussels sprouts in the instant pot, drain the excess water.
Use olive oil when making roasted frozen brussel sprouts in the oven or air fryer. To avoid overly crispy edges, add additional olive oil as needed.
Storage - keep refrigerated in an airtight container or bowl covered with plastic wrap up to 4 days.
