Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 50 grams Shelled pistachios (roughly chopped)
Instructions
Wash the Brussels sprouts and trim the ends. Remove any yellowed or damaged outer leaves. Slice each sprout in half lengthwise.
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted and begins to foam.
Place the Brussels sprouts cut side down in a single layer in the skillet. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Sprinkle the sprouts with salt and black pepper. Let them cook undisturbed for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cut sides are golden brown and caramelized.
Flip the Brussels sprouts with tongs and cook for another 3-4 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.
Drizzle the honey or maple syrup over the Brussels sprouts and toss to coat evenly. Cook for 1 minute to let the sweetness meld with the sprouts.
Add the lemon juice and give everything a final toss to brighten the flavors.
Transfer the caramelized Brussels sprouts to a serving bowl or plate and sprinkle the chopped pistachios on top.
Serve immediately as a side dish and enjoy!
