Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds Brussels sprouts, washed, trimmed, and cut in half
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped pecans or hazelnuts

Instructions

  • In a large skillet (I prefer cast iron), heat the olive oil over medium high heat.
  • Add the Brussels sprouts and sauté for about 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sprouts are mostly dark golden brown and tender. I like the sprouts to get charred and crispy.
  • Once caramelized, add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice. Place the Brussels sprouts on a platter or in a serving bowl and garnish with Parmesan cheese and chopped nuts. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve immediately.

Notes

Reheat in a hot skillet, air fryer, or oven so they crisp back up.
