Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 count Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Rinse the Brussels sprouts thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Trim off the tough stem ends of the Brussels sprouts, and remove any outer leaves that look damaged.
Cut each Brussels sprout in half lengthwise for even cooking. For very large Brussels sprouts, quarter them.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and allow it to warm for about 30 seconds.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned.
Place the Brussels sprouts cut side down in the skillet in a single layer. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
Cook the Brussels sprouts undisturbed for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the cut sides are golden and caramelized.
Stir the sprouts and continue cooking for another 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still have a slight bite.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the Brussels sprouts and toss to combine.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the Brussels sprouts.
Transfer the sautéed Brussels sprouts to a serving dish and serve hot as a side dish.
