Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts
- 1 whole Lemon (zest and juice)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Trim the root ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Using a sharp knife or a food processor with the shredding attachment, thinly slice the sprouts into shreds.
Zest the lemon and set the zest aside. Then cut the lemon in half and juice it into a small bowl. Set the juice aside as well.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Add the shredded Brussels sprouts to the skillet. Toss them with the garlic and oil, spreading them out evenly in the pan. Allow them to cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly golden on the edges.
Season the sprouts with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir well to combine.
Remove the skillet from the heat, and immediately stir in the lemon juice and zest, tossing to coat the Brussels sprouts evenly.
Transfer the Brussels sprouts to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
Serve warm as a side dish to complement your favorite main course!
