Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 whole Lemon
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
Directions
Step 1
Begin by cleaning the Brussels sprouts. Trim the ends and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Slice each Brussels sprout in half from top to bottom.
Step 2
Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium heat and add the extra virgin olive oil.
Step 3
Once the oil is shimmering, place the Brussels sprouts in a single layer, cut side down, in the skillet. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
Step 4
Let them cook undisturbed for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cut sides are deeply golden brown and crispy.
Step 5
Carefully flip each Brussels sprout and sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Continue to cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the sprouts are tender and caramelized all over.
Step 6
Once cooked, transfer the Brussels sprouts to a bowl or serving platter.
Step 7
Zest the lemon over the Brussels sprouts and then squeeze the juice of half a lemon directly onto them. Adjust the amount of lemon juice according to your taste.
Step 8
Sprinkle the crushed red pepper flakes over the top for a little heat.
Step 9
Serve immediately as a crispy, flavorful side dish perfect for any meal while staying Whole30 compliant.
