Ingredients

• 1 pound Brussels sprouts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 large Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium Lemon, zested and juiced
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, make sure the pan is heated evenly over the stove or in the oven.

Step 2

Trim the ends off the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half lengthwise. If any outer leaves are wilted or discolored, remove and discard them.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Stir these ingredients well to ensure even distribution.

Step 4

Add the Brussels sprouts to the bowl containing the oil, garlic, and seasoning mix. Toss the Brussels sprouts to ensure they are well-coated with the mixture.

Step 5

Thread the Brussels sprouts onto skewers, cut side facing out. If using a grill basket, simply spread the Brussels sprouts evenly in the basket.

Step 6

Place the skewered or basketed Brussels sprouts onto the preheated grill. Grill for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even grilling until they are tender and have grill marks.

Step 7

Once done, remove the Brussels sprouts from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.

Step 8

Squeeze the lemon juice over the grilled Brussels sprouts for a refreshing zing.

Step 9

If desired, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot Brussels sprouts and let it melt slightly.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving for an added burst of freshness.
