Ingredients

• 500 grams Brussels sprouts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Trim the Brussels sprouts by cutting off the root end and removing any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Slice them in half lengthwise.

Step 2

Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, place the Brussels sprouts cut-side down in a single layer in the skillet. Cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes, allowing the cut sides to brown and caramelize.

Step 5

Stir the Brussels sprouts and add the minced garlic. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sprouts are tender but still have a slight crunch.

Step 6

Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir well to evenly coat the sprouts with the seasoning.

Step 7

Turn off the heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the Brussels sprouts. Toss to combine.

Step 8

Transfer to a serving dish and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious sautéed Brussels sprouts!
