Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Brussels sprouts
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 100 g Prosciutto, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp Balsamic glaze (optional)
Instructions
Wash the Brussels sprouts thoroughly, trim the stems, and cut them in half lengthwise.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the prosciutto slices and cook for 2-3 minutes, flipping occasionally, until they become crispy and begin to curl up. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a paper towel to drain.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet. Place the Brussels sprouts cut-side down in a single layer. Cook for 5-7 minutes without stirring, allowing them to caramelize on one side.
Stir the Brussels sprouts, then season with salt, black pepper, and minced garlic. Continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the Brussels sprouts are tender and golden brown.
Crumble the crispy prosciutto into small pieces and sprinkle it over the Brussels sprouts.
Drizzle with optional balsamic glaze before serving for an added touch of sweetness and acidity.
Serve immediately as a side dish or appetizer.
