Ingredients

• 500 g Brussels sprouts
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 100 g Prosciutto, thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp Balsamic glaze (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the Brussels sprouts thoroughly, trim the stems, and cut them in half lengthwise.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the prosciutto slices and cook for 2-3 minutes, flipping occasionally, until they become crispy and begin to curl up. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a paper towel to drain.

Step 4

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet. Place the Brussels sprouts cut-side down in a single layer. Cook for 5-7 minutes without stirring, allowing them to caramelize on one side.

Step 5

Stir the Brussels sprouts, then season with salt, black pepper, and minced garlic. Continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the Brussels sprouts are tender and golden brown.

Step 6

Crumble the crispy prosciutto into small pieces and sprinkle it over the Brussels sprouts.

Step 7

Drizzle with optional balsamic glaze before serving for an added touch of sweetness and acidity.

Step 8

Serve immediately as a side dish or appetizer.
