Instructions

  1. Slice brussel sprouts in half from top to bottom (or quarters if large).
  2. Heat oil in a large 14" oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Season Brussel sprouts with ⅛ teaspoon each salt and pepper.
  3. Add to the skillet and cook 4-5 minutes or until tender-crisp and slightly browned. Add broth and simmer until evaporated, about 3 minutes.
  4. Move brussels to the side of the pan and add the butter and garlic, cook for 30 seconds. Add heavy cream and simmer 4-5 minutes or until slightly thickened.
  5. Remove from the heat and add ⅓ cup parmesan cheese and lemon zest. Stir to combine. Taste and season with kosher salt and black pepper.
  6. Turn the broiler on to high and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Broil 1-2 minutes or until golden.
  7. Garnish with parsley if desired and serve warm.

Notes

  • To make lemon zest, use a fine grater to grate just the yellow part of the skin of a fresh lemon. Try to avoid the white pith as it can be bitter.
  • Cut the Brussels sprouts in half, or in quarters if they're large. 
  • Don't overcook the sprouts in the broth, they'll cook a bit more once the cream is added.
  • Add the cheese once the heat is off, simmering the cheese can cause it to separate.
  • If the sauce thickens too much, add a little bit of broth or cream to thin it. 
  • Season with salt & pepper after adding the cheese as the parmesan will add salt.
