Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped, optional)
Instructions
Wash and trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts. Cut the sprouts in half lengthwise for even cooking.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Place the Brussels sprouts cut-side down in the skillet in a single layer. Let them cook undisturbed for 5 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown and slightly crispy.
Stir the sprouts and continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are evenly browned and tender.
Reduce the heat to low and add the minced garlic to the skillet. Stir for 1 minute to release its aroma, being careful not to burn it.
Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, black pepper, and (if using) red chili flakes. Toss to coat the Brussels sprouts evenly.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the sprouts to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Lemon Garlic Sprouts!
