Ingredients

• 500 grams Brussels sprouts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 50 grams Unsalted pistachios
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.25 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half. If they are very large, quarter them for more even cooking.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat, then add the olive oil.

Step 3

Place the Brussels sprouts cut-side down in the skillet. Let them cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes until the cut sides are golden brown.

Step 4

While the Brussels sprouts are cooking, toast the pistachios in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

Once the Brussels sprouts are golden-brown, stir them around the pan and cook for another 5-7 minutes until tender but still slightly crisp.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.

Step 7

Add the fresh parsley, thyme leaves, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Mix everything thoroughly to coat the Brussels sprouts evenly.

Step 8

Transfer the Brussels sprouts to a serving dish and sprinkle the toasted pistachios over the top.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy this flavorful side dish!
