Rinse the Brussels sprouts under cold water and pat them dry. Trim the stems and cut each sprout in half lengthwise.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the halved Brussels sprouts cut side down and cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing them to brown slightly.
Flip the sprouts and continue cooking for another 3 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.
Reduce the heat to low and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the Brussels sprouts and toss until evenly coated with the garlic butter.
Transfer the Brussels sprouts to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
