Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 30 grams Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Rinse and trim the Brussels sprouts by cutting off the ends and removing any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Slice each sprout in half lengthwise.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and swirl to coat the pan evenly.
Place the Brussels sprouts cut side down in a single layer in the skillet. Allow them to sear without stirring for 6-8 minutes until the cut sides turn deeply golden and crispy.
Flip the sprouts using tongs or a spatula and continue to cook for another 4-5 minutes until they are tender but still slightly firm, stirring occasionally.
Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent the garlic from burning.
Season with salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the Brussels sprouts and toss lightly to allow it to melt slightly.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the lemon zest evenly over the sprouts for a burst of freshness.
Serve immediately as a side dish or snack. Enjoy the crispy, caramelized goodness!
