Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Rinse the Brussels sprouts thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Step 3
Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half lengthwise.
Step 4
In a large bowl, combine Brussels sprouts, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to evenly coat the sprouts.
Step 5
Thread the Brussels sprouts onto skewers, making sure they are snugly packed together to prevent them from falling apart on the grill. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 10 minutes prior to grilling to prevent burning.
Step 6
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 10 minutes, turning halfway through, until the Brussels sprouts are tender and have charred grill marks.
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill. Slide the sprouts off the skewers into a serving bowl.
Step 8
Sprinkle the grilled Brussels sprouts with chopped parsley and toss gently to mix.
Step 9
Serve warm as a delightful side dish to complement your Mediterranean meal.
