Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoons Lemon zest
- 0.25 teaspoons Sapphire-blue sea salt (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Wash the Brussels sprouts thoroughly, trim the ends, and cut them in half lengthwise.
Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
Add the sliced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden, being careful not to burn it.
Add the halved Brussels sprouts to the skillet, cut side down. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Allow the Brussels sprouts to cook undisturbed for 5-7 minutes, or until the cut sides are golden brown and caramelized.
Stir the Brussels sprouts, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still slightly crisp.
Sprinkle the crushed red pepper flakes and lemon zest over the Brussels sprouts. Toss to evenly coat.
Transfer the sautéed Brussels sprouts to a serving dish and, if desired, sprinkle with sapphire-blue sea salt for a dramatic finish.
Serve hot and enjoy your Garlic and Sapphires Sautéed Brussels Sprouts!
