Sautéed Brussels Sprouts

These little guys are endlessly riffable. Throw in chili flakes, cumin seeds, fresh oregano, or any other flavors you love. Brussels sprouts also go great with cheese, as evidenced by our cheesy Brussels sprout bake, so don't shy away from some shaved Parm for garnish.

Ingredients

1 lb. Brussels sprouts, halved
1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 garlic clove, minced

Directions

Step 1
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Once hot, add your brussels sprouts and shake pan so all cut sides of sprouts settle cut side down in a single layer. Cook undisturbed 5 to 7 minutes, until cut sides of sprouts become caramelized. 
Step 2
Stir and continue to cook until sprouts have taken on color and become tender, 6 to 8 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper, squeeze lemon, and add garlic. Stir and cook 1 minute longer.
