Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 3 whole Garlic cloves
- 0.5 Lemon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
Instructions
Wash and trim the outer leaves of the Brussels sprouts, then cut them in half lengthwise.
Peel and smash the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the smashed garlic cloves and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
Remove the garlic from the skillet and set aside.
Carefully add the halved Brussels sprouts to the hot oil, arranging them cut-side down in a single layer.
Fry the Brussels sprouts undisturbed for 5-6 minutes until the cut sides are deeply golden brown and crisp.
Stir the sprouts and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until they are tender.
Squeeze the juice from half a lemon over the Brussels sprouts and toss to coat.
Return the garlic cloves to the skillet and season the dish with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste.
Give everything a final toss before removing the skillet from the heat.
Serve immediately while hot.
