Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Fresh garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 medium Lemon, juiced
Directions
Step 1
Begin by washing the Brussels sprouts thoroughly. Trim the ends and remove any yellow or damaged leaves. Cut each sprout in half lengthwise.
Step 2
In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, ensuring they are well-coated.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water to create a slurry. Drizzle the slurry over the Brussels sprouts and toss again to coat evenly.
Step 4
Preheat a large frying pan over medium heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Step 5
Once the oil is hot, add the Brussels sprouts to the pan in a single layer, cut side down. Cook without stirring for about 10 minutes, until the bottoms are golden brown and crispy.
Step 6
While the sprouts are cooking, in a small bowl whisk together the minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, honey, black pepper, smoked paprika, and the juice of the lemon.
Step 7
After the sprouts are browned, carefully toss them in the frying pan and continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
Step 8
Pour the garlic-vinegar mixture over the Brussels sprouts and stir to combine, cooking for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the sprouts to caramelize slightly.
Step 9
Remove from heat and serve immediately. Enjoy your crispy low sodium Brussels sprouts as a delightful and healthy dish!
