Ingredients
- 500 g Brussels sprouts
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 0.5 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Wash the Brussels sprouts thoroughly, trim the ends, and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Slice them in half lengthwise.
Step 2
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 4
Once the oil is hot, place the Brussels sprouts cut side down in a single layer. Let them cook for 5-6 minutes without stirring, allowing the cut sides to brown and caramelize.
Step 5
Add the minced garlic to the pan and cook for 1 minute, stirring gently to avoid burning the garlic.
Step 6
Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes over the Brussels sprouts, and stir to coat evenly.
Step 7
Cook for another 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the Brussels sprouts are tender and golden brown.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the Brussels sprouts. Toss to combine.
Step 9
If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top for an extra burst of flavor.
Step 10
Serve warm as a side dish or snack, and enjoy!
