Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 whole Oranges
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 50 grams Pecans (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and trim the Brussels sprouts by cutting off the stems and halving any large sprouts.
Step 2
Peel and mince the garlic. Zest one of the oranges, then juice both oranges and set aside.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and once hot, place the Brussels sprouts cut-side down in the pan. Cook undisturbed for 5-7 minutes until golden and caramelized.
Step 4
Season the sprouts with salt and black pepper, then toss to cook evenly for another 5 minutes.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together orange juice, orange zest, honey, balsamic vinegar, and minced garlic to create the sauce.
Step 6
Pour the sauce over the sprouts in the skillet and stir to coat evenly. Let it cook for 3-5 minutes until the liquid slightly reduces and the sprouts are tender.
Step 7
Toast the pecans (if using) in a separate dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Step 8
Transfer the saucy Brussels sprouts to a serving dish. Garnish with toasted pecans for added texture if desired, and serve warm.
