Start by preheating your grill to medium-high heat or around 400°F (200°C).
Rinse the Brussels sprouts under cold water and pat them dry with a clean towel. Trim the ends and remove any yellowed outer leaves. Cut the larger sprouts in half for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the trimmed Brussels sprouts with olive oil. Toss them well to ensure they are evenly coated.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves, and add it to the bowl with the Brussels sprouts. Mix well.
Cut the lemon in half. Squeeze the juice from half of the lemon over the Brussels sprouts and add black pepper. Toss everything together one last time.
Thread the Brussels sprouts onto metal skewers, or place them in a grilling basket to prevent them from falling through the grill grates.
Place the skewers or grilling basket on the preheated grill. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the sprouts are tender and charred in spots.
While they are grilling, finely chop the fresh parsley.
Once the Brussels sprouts are ready, remove them from the grill.
Transfer the grilled Brussels sprouts to a serving platter. Squeeze the juice of the remaining half of the lemon over them and sprinkle with more freshly chopped parsley for garnish.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy this flavorful low-sodium dish.
