Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Wash the Brussels sprouts thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Trim the bases of the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half lengthwise.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the Brussels sprouts to the skillet, placing the cut sides down, and cook for 5 minutes or until they start to brown slightly.
Stir the Brussels sprouts and cook for another 3 minutes until they are tender but still firm to the bite.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, black pepper, salt, and water to make the glaze.
Pour the glaze over the Brussels sprouts in the skillet and stir to evenly coat them.
Cook the Brussels sprouts for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the glaze to thicken and stick to them.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the glazed Brussels sprouts to a serving plate.
Serve warm as a side dish, optionally garnished with extra lemon zest or freshly ground black pepper.
