Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Brussels sprouts
- 60 ml Olive oil
- 50 g Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Begin by washing the Brussels sprouts thoroughly. Trim the base of each sprout and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves.
Cut the Brussels sprouts in half lengthwise. For larger sprouts, you may wish to quarter them to ensure uniform cooking.
In a large frying pan or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Carefully add the Brussels sprouts to the hot oil, placing them cut side down in a single layer. Fry for approximately 5-7 minutes, or until the cut sides are golden brown and crispy.
Using a spatula, gently toss the sprouts to ensure even cooking. Continue frying for another 5-7 minutes, ensuring they are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Once fried to your desired level of crispiness, sprinkle the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper evenly over the sprouts. Add the red chili flakes if desired for an extra kick.
Remove the pan from heat and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot Brussels sprouts, allowing it to melt slightly.
Serve immediately as a delicious low-carb side dish or appetizer. Enjoy the crispy, cheesy goodness!
