Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 80 grams Walnuts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoons Honey
- 1 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
Instructions
Prepare the brussels sprouts by trimming the stems and slicing each sprout in half lengthwise.
Roughly chop the walnuts into smaller pieces and set aside.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Toast the chopped walnuts in the skillet for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until lightly browned and fragrant. Remove the walnuts from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Place the brussels sprouts cut-side down in a single layer and let them cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes, or until the cut sides are golden-brown and caramelized.
Stir the brussels sprouts to cook them evenly for another 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Season with salt and black pepper. Drizzle the honey and balsamic vinegar over the sprouts, stirring to coat evenly.
Add the toasted walnuts back into the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through and well combined.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the Brussels sprouts and walnuts to a serving dish. Serve warm, and enjoy!
