Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 medium Lemon, juiced
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any discolored outer leaves. Cut each Brussels sprout in half lengthwise.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 375-400°F (190-200°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat the Brussels sprouts evenly.
Thread the Brussels sprouts onto skewers, leaving a small space between each piece for even cooking. If using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes prior to prevent burning.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Close the lid and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the Brussels sprouts are tender and have light grill marks.
Remove from the grill and let them cool for a couple of minutes.
Garnish the grilled Brussels sprouts with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve immediately while warm, enjoying the delightful combination of grilled flavors enhanced with lemon and garlic.
