Ingredients

• 500 grams Brussels sprouts
• 2 tablespoons Walnut oil
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Walnuts (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the Brussels sprouts thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 2

Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Slice each sprout in half lengthwise.

Step 3

Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add 1 tablespoon of walnut oil and swirl to coat the pan.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.

Step 6

Add the Brussels sprouts to the skillet with the cut side facing down. Let them cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes until the cut sides are golden brown.

Step 7

Stir the Brussels sprouts and continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly crispy.

Step 8

Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the sprouts and mix well to combine.

Step 9

Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of walnut oil over the cooked Brussels sprouts and toss to coat evenly.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the dish for a bright and tangy finish.

Step 11

If desired, sprinkle chopped walnuts on top as a garnish for added crunch and flavor.

Step 12

Serve warm as a side dish alongside your favorite main course.
