Ingredients
- 225 grams snap peas
- 300 grams Brussels sprouts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Trim the ends of the snap peas and remove any strings if necessary. Set aside.
Step 2
Rinse Brussels sprouts, trim the stems, and cut them in half lengthwise. If they are large, cut them into quarters.
Step 3
Peel and 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 garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Step 6
Add the Brussels sprouts to the skillet, cut-side down, and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to caramelize and become tender.
Step 7
Add the snap peas to the skillet and continue sautéing for another 3-5 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender but still crisp.
Step 8
Drizzle the lemon juice over the vegetables and season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Toss everything to combine.
Step 9
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the sautéed snap peas and Brussels sprouts to a serving dish.
Step 10
Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy on its own!
