Ingredients

• 500 grams Brussels sprouts
• 2 medium Zucchini
• 3 medium Shallots
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any discolored outer leaves. Cut each sprout in half lengthwise.

Step 2

Slice the zucchini into half-moons about 1/4-inch thick.

Step 3

Peel the shallots and slice them thinly.

Step 4

Peel and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 5

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 6

Add the shallots to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they become translucent and slightly caramelized.

Step 7

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the Brussels sprouts to the skillet, cut side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes without stirring, allowing them to develop a golden-brown sear.

Step 8

Stir the Brussels sprouts and add the zucchini slices. Cook for another 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender and the Brussels sprouts are evenly browned.

Step 9

Lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant.

Step 10

Season the vegetables with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir to combine.

Step 11

Remove the skillet from the heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the vegetables. Toss gently to coat.

Step 12

Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm.
