Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Brussels sprouts
- 1 large Apple (e.g., Honeycrisp or Gala)
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
Instructions
Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Cut each sprout in half lengthwise.
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apple into wedges. Set aside.
Peel and slice the onion into thin strips.
Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter. Swirl to combine as the butter melts.
Add the sliced onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and starting to caramelize.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the halved Brussels sprouts to the skillet, placing them cut-side down. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes without stirring until the cut sides are golden and slightly crispy.
Add the apple slices and fresh thyme to the skillet. Stir gently to combine and sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes until the apples are just tender but still hold their shape.
Drizzle the apple cider vinegar and honey over the mixture. Stir well to incorporate and allow the flavors to meld for 1-2 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper, if needed.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the sautéed Brussels sprouts, apples, and onions to a serving dish. Serve warm.
