Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 large Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Lemon, zested and juiced
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, make sure the pan is heated evenly over the stove or in the oven.
Trim the ends off the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half lengthwise. If any outer leaves are wilted or discolored, remove and discard them.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Stir these ingredients well to ensure even distribution.
Add the Brussels sprouts to the bowl containing the oil, garlic, and seasoning mix. Toss the Brussels sprouts to ensure they are well-coated with the mixture.
Thread the Brussels sprouts onto skewers, cut side facing out. If using a grill basket, simply spread the Brussels sprouts evenly in the basket.
Place the skewered or basketed Brussels sprouts onto the preheated grill. Grill for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even grilling until they are tender and have grill marks.
Once done, remove the Brussels sprouts from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Squeeze the lemon juice over the grilled Brussels sprouts for a refreshing zing.
If desired, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot Brussels sprouts and let it melt slightly.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving for an added burst of freshness.
