Trim the Brussels sprouts by cutting off the stem ends and removing the outermost leaves. Carefully peel off the inner leaves until you reach the core. Discard the cores or save them for another use.
Rinse the leaves in cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Set aside.
Heat a dry skillet over medium heat and toast the walnuts for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown and fragrant. Transfer the walnuts to a cutting board and roughly chop them. Set aside.
In the same skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sautΓ© for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the Brussels sprouts leaves to the skillet and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. SautΓ© for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the leaves are tender and slightly browned.
Stir in the dried cranberries and lemon juice, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the cranberries are warmed through.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the chopped toasted walnuts.
Transfer the Brussels sprouts leaves to a serving dish and serve immediately. Enjoy your flavorful and nutritious side dish!
