Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 125 milliliters Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Erythritol
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Begin by preparing the Brussels sprouts. Trim the stems and remove any discolored outer leaves. Cut the Brussels sprouts in half, lengthwise.
In a large saucepan or deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the halved Brussels sprouts to the pan. Arrange them cut side down to ensure maximum crispness. Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes without stirring, allowing them to develop a golden-brown crust.
After the bottoms are nicely crisp, sprinkle the sprouts with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir gently to coat the Brussels sprouts evenly with the seasoning.
Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for another 5 minutes until the Brussels sprouts are crispy and tender.
While the Brussels sprouts are cooking, prepare the balsamic glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar and erythritol. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 8-10 minutes or until the mixture thickens to a syrupy consistency.
Once the Brussels sprouts are cooked, transfer them to a serving dish.
Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the crispy Brussels sprouts and toss to coat.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve immediately for the best crispy texture.
