Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 6 Fresh sage leaves
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
Instructions
Rinse the Brussels sprouts under cold water, trim the stem ends, and cut each sprout in half lengthwise.
Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. When hot, place the Brussels sprouts cut side down in the pan in a single layer. Work in batches if necessary.
Cook the Brussels sprouts undisturbed for about 5–7 minutes, until the cut sides are golden brown and slightly crispy.
Once browned, stir the Brussels sprouts and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Transfer the sprouts to a serving bowl and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and melt the butter. Add the sage leaves and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring often, until the butter turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma.
Immediately add the sliced garlic to the browned butter and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent the garlic from burning.
Pour the brown butter, garlic, and sage mixture over the cooked Brussels sprouts. Drizzle with lemon juice and toss to combine.
Serve warm and enjoy as a delicious side dish!
