Ingredients

• 500 grams Brussels sprouts
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half. Remove any discolored or wilted outer leaves.

Step 2

Peel the onion and slice it into thin strips.

Step 3

Finely mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, add the sliced onions and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and begin to caramelize.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Toss the Brussels sprouts and onions together, and continue to cook for another 5 minutes until the sprouts are tender-crisp.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Step 9

Drizzle the maple syrup and balsamic vinegar over the vegetables. Stir to coat evenly and cook for 2-3 minutes until the liquid reduces slightly and forms a glossy glaze.

Step 10

Season with salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme (if using). Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 11

Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the Brussels sprouts with onions to a serving dish. Serve warm and enjoy!
