Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves (minced)
- 0.5 cups Sliced almonds
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional, grated)
Instructions
Wash and trim the Brussels sprouts by removing the outer leaves and cutting off the tough stems. Halve each sprout lengthwise.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, place the Brussels sprouts cut side down in a single layer in the skillet. Allow them to sear undisturbed for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy on the bottom.
Sprinkle the Brussels sprouts with salt and black pepper, then stir to evenly coat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant but not burned.
Reduce the heat to medium and toss in the sliced almonds. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the almonds are toasted and lightly browned.
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the Brussels sprouts with lemon juice. Toss well to coat.
Optional: Sprinkle the dish with grated Parmesan cheese before serving for an extra layer of flavor.
Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy as a healthy snack.
