Description
A delicious side dish combining sautéed Brussels sprouts with lemon and garlic for a burst of flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pounds Brussels sprouts (washed, trimmed and cut in half)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 8 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 lemon (zest and juice)
- salt (to taste)
- pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until oil is warm and shimmering.
- Add the Brussels sprouts, stirring occasionally to prevent burning; some caramelization is okay.
- Sauté until fork tender, continuing to stir occasionally. I like my Brussels sprouts on the softer side, so I cooked mine for a little longer (approx. 20 minutes).
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the butter, chili flakes, and garlic. Mix well.
- Remove from heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Notes
- This dish pairs well with grilled meats or can be served as a vegetarian main course.
- Adjust the amount of chili flakes to your spice preference.
