Ingredients

• 450 g Brussels sprouts
• 100 g Cashews
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 3 Garlic cloves
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Maple syrup
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 0.25 tsp Red chili flakes

Directions

Step 1

Wash the Brussels sprouts thoroughly and trim the stems. Slice each sprout in half lengthwise.

Step 2

Finely mince the garlic cloves and set aside.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the cashews. Toast them for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until they are golden and fragrant. Remove the cashews from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the olive oil and heat over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Place the halved Brussels sprouts cut-side down in the skillet. Let them cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes until they develop a golden-brown sear.

Step 6

Stir the Brussels sprouts and cook for an additional 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still slightly crisp.

Step 7

Lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, maple syrup, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes.

Step 9

Pour the sauce mixture over the Brussels sprouts and stir well to coat evenly.

Step 10

Add the toasted cashews back into the skillet and toss everything together to combine.

Step 11

Remove from heat, taste for seasoning, and adjust if necessary.

Step 12

Serve warm as a flavorful side dish or light main course.
