Ingredients

• 1 lb Brussels sprouts
• 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 6 Fresh sage leaves
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tbsp Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the Brussels sprouts under cold water, trim the stem ends, and cut each sprout in half lengthwise.

Step 2

Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. When hot, place the Brussels sprouts cut side down in the pan in a single layer. Work in batches if necessary.

Step 4

Cook the Brussels sprouts undisturbed for about 5–7 minutes, until the cut sides are golden brown and slightly crispy.

Step 5

Once browned, stir the Brussels sprouts and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Transfer the sprouts to a serving bowl and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and melt the butter. Add the sage leaves and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring often, until the butter turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma.

Step 7

Immediately add the sliced garlic to the browned butter and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent the garlic from burning.

Step 8

Pour the brown butter, garlic, and sage mixture over the cooked Brussels sprouts. Drizzle with lemon juice and toss to combine.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy as a delicious side dish!
