Make The Best Brussels Sprouts Recipe In A Few Simple Steps
Enjoy our tender and flavorful Brussels sprouts as a side dish, or serve them alongside boiled waxy potatoes.
Step 1 – Prepare The Brussels Sprouts
First off, wash the Brussels sprouts and remove any old outer or loose leaves. Also, cut of the bottom of the stem.
For faster and even cooking, I recommend halving each Brussels sprout.
Step 2 – Seasoning And Cooking
In a heavy frying pan ( I am using an enamel cast iron skillet), heat either avocado oil or olive oil.
Add the Brussels sprouts and season with salt, freshly ground pepper, and chili flakes (optional).
Sauté the Brussels sprouts for about 2 minutes. Add water, cover, and let them steam for 5 minutes.
Step 3 – The Final Touches
Take the lid of and add butter and finely chopped garlic. Sauté again for a couple more minutes before putting the lid on once again.
After 2 minutes, the Brussels sprouts are perfectly cooked.
Serve them hot, garnished with chopped parsley, alongside your favorite meat dish or on their own.
Extra Tip
Once you add the garlic, you can add chopped bacon (for non-vegetarians). It makes this side dish very rich and adds, of course, different flavors.
