Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
Instructions
Wash and trim the Brussels sprouts by cutting off the tough ends and removing any wilted outer leaves.
Using a sharp knife, food processor, or mandoline, shred the Brussels sprouts into thin slices to create a ‘hashed’ texture.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, but not browned.
Add the shredded Brussels sprouts to the pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until they have softened and slightly caramelized.
Stir in the lemon zest, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Optionally, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top and stir until melted and incorporated.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed before serving hot.
