Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 3 large 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 ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any wilted outer leaves. Slice them in half lengthwise for even cooking.
Mince the garlic cloves finely and set them aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and let it warm up for 30 seconds.
Place the Brussels sprouts cut-side down in the skillet in a single layer. Cook undisturbed for 5–7 minutes or until the cut sides are golden brown and caramelized.
Sprinkle in the minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Season the Brussels sprouts with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Stir well to evenly coat the sprouts in the seasoning.
Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the Brussels sprouts are tender but still slightly crisp.
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the cooked Brussels sprouts. Toss gently to combine.
Transfer to a serving dish and serve warm as a side dish or a light vegetable main.
