Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 2 tablespoons Walnut oil
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Walnuts (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the Brussels sprouts thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Slice each sprout in half lengthwise.
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add 1 tablespoon of walnut oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the Brussels sprouts to the skillet with the cut side facing down. Let them cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes until the cut sides are golden brown.
Stir the Brussels sprouts and continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly crispy.
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the sprouts and mix well to combine.
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of walnut oil over the cooked Brussels sprouts and toss to coat evenly.
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the dish for a bright and tangy finish.
If desired, sprinkle chopped walnuts on top as a garnish for added crunch and flavor.
Serve warm as a side dish alongside your favorite main course.
