Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Trim the Brussels sprouts by cutting off the root end and removing any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Slice them in half lengthwise.
Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
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. Cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes, allowing the cut sides to brown and caramelize.
Stir the Brussels sprouts and add the minced garlic. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sprouts are tender but still have a slight crunch.
Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir well to evenly coat the sprouts with the seasoning.
Turn off the heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the Brussels sprouts. Toss to combine.
Transfer to a serving dish and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious sautéed Brussels sprouts!
