Ingredients

• 500 grams Brussels sprouts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and trim the Brussels sprouts. Slice each sprout in half lengthwise for even cooking.

Step 2

Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and bubbly.

Step 4

Place the Brussels sprouts cut-side down in the skillet, working in a single layer. Allow them to cook undisturbed for 5-6 minutes, or until the cut sides are golden brown and caramelized.

Step 5

Stir the sprouts gently, then add the minced garlic to the pan. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is fragrant.

Step 6

Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the sprouts, stirring to evenly coat them with the seasoning.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar and honey. Pour the mixture over the Brussels sprouts and toss to coat.

Step 8

Cook for another 2-3 minutes, letting the glaze thicken slightly and evenly coat the sprouts.

Step 9

Transfer the caramelized Brussels sprouts to a serving dish. If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley on top for added flavor and presentation.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy!
