Ingredients
- 200 grams Brussels sprouts
- 50 grams Raw cashews
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Red chili flakes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and peel away any browned or tough outer leaves. Cut each sprout in half lengthwise.
Step 2
Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add the raw cashews and toast them for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly, until lightly browned and fragrant. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Place the halved Brussels sprouts cut side down in the skillet and cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes until the cut sides are golden brown and caramelized.
Step 4
Lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce and honey. Pour the mixture over the Brussels sprouts and stir well to coat evenly.
Step 6
Season the dish with salt, black pepper, and optional red chili flakes for a hint of heat. Continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the Brussels sprouts are tender but still have a slight crunch.
Step 7
Add the toasted cashews back to the skillet and toss everything together. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat and serve the Brussels sprouts with cashews immediately as a side dish or a light main dish for two.
