Ingredients

• 500 grams Brussels sprouts
• 80 grams Walnuts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 teaspoons Honey
• 1 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the brussels sprouts by trimming the stems and slicing each sprout in half lengthwise.

Step 2

Roughly chop the walnuts into smaller pieces and set aside.

Step 3

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 5

Toast the chopped walnuts in the skillet for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until lightly browned and fragrant. Remove the walnuts from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Place the brussels sprouts cut-side down in a single layer and let them cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes, or until the cut sides are golden-brown and caramelized.

Step 7

Stir the brussels sprouts to cook them evenly for another 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

Step 8

Season with salt and black pepper. Drizzle the honey and balsamic vinegar over the sprouts, stirring to coat evenly.

Step 9

Add the toasted walnuts back into the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through and well combined.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the Brussels sprouts and walnuts to a serving dish. Serve warm, and enjoy!
