Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sweetener
Instructions
Start by preparing the glaze. Pour the balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves and add them to the pan with balsamic vinegar.
Add the granulated sweetener to the pan and stir. Place the saucepan over medium heat.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let it cook, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened and reduced by half, about 10-15 minutes. Set aside to cool.
While the glaze is simmering, trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any outer leaves that are damaged or falling off.
Slice the Brussels sprouts in half lengthwise.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the Brussels sprouts in a single layer, cut side down. Do not overcrowd the skillet; cook in batches if necessary.
Let the sprouts cook undisturbed for about 4-5 minutes until the cut sides are browned and crispy.
Flip the Brussels sprouts, season with salt and black pepper, and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes until tender and crispy all around.
Transfer the cooked Brussels sprouts to a serving platter.
Once the balsamic glaze has cooled slightly, drizzle it generously over the crispy Brussels sprouts.
Serve immediately as a side dish or a tasty low-carb snack.
