Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Start by washing the Brussels sprouts thoroughly under cold water. Trim the stem ends and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves.
Step 2
Cut the Brussels sprouts in half lengthwise. If you have particularly large sprouts, you can quarter them for even cooking.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Brussels sprouts with extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. Toss well to ensure the Brussels sprouts are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the prepared Brussels sprouts to the pan, placing them cut-side down in a single layer. Adjust the heat to avoid burning.
Step 5
Cook the Brussels sprouts for about 5-7 minutes, letting them develop a crispy, golden-brown crust on the cut side. Resist the urge to stir too frequently to allow for even browning.
Step 6
Once the cut sides are nicely browned, give them a good stir and continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes or until they are tender and crispy on the edges.
Step 7
Remove the pan from the heat and squeeze the lemon juice over the Brussels sprouts. Toss quickly to distribute the lemon juice evenly.
Step 8
Transfer the crispy fried Brussels sprouts to a serving dish. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of additional sea salt or red pepper flakes as desired.
Step 9
Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy the crispy and flavorful nature of these sugar-free Brussels sprouts.
