Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 50 grams Unsalted pistachios
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.25 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half. If they are very large, quarter them for more even cooking.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat, then add the olive oil.
Place the Brussels sprouts cut-side down in the skillet. Let them cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes until the cut sides are golden brown.
While the Brussels sprouts are cooking, toast the pistachios in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the Brussels sprouts are golden-brown, stir them around the pan and cook for another 5-7 minutes until tender but still slightly crisp.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
Add the fresh parsley, thyme leaves, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Mix everything thoroughly to coat the Brussels sprouts evenly.
Transfer the Brussels sprouts to a serving dish and sprinkle the toasted pistachios over the top.
Serve immediately and enjoy this flavorful side dish!
