Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the olive oil, pepper, and red pepper flakes together until toasted, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  2. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook, without stirring, until they begin to soften, about 2 minutes.
  3. Season with the salt, and cook until the Brussels sprouts just begin to char, about 2 minutes.
  4. Remove the skillet from the heat and add the Parmesan, lemon zest, and hazelnuts.
  5. Serve warm, topped with more fresh Parmesan, if desired.

Notes

  • You can carefully shave your own Brussels sprouts using a mandoline, but buying them already prepped is a major time-saver.
