Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Wash the Brussels sprouts thoroughly and trim the stems. Remove any discolored outer leaves.
Cut larger Brussels sprouts in half lengthwise to ensure even cooking; leave smaller ones whole.
Mince the garlic cloves and set them aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is shimmering, add the Brussels sprouts to the skillet, cut side down if sliced.
Cook for 5-7 minutes without stirring, until the cut sides are golden brown and caramelized.
Stir in the minced garlic and season with sea salt and black pepper. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sprouts are tender and garlic is fragrant.
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle with lemon juice. Toss to coat evenly.
If using, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the Brussels sprouts for extra flavor.
Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy as a main vegetarian option.
