Garlic Butter Brussels Sprout Recipe
Description
In this recipe, fresh Brussels sprouts are halved and cooked over medium-high heat in olive oil along with thin garlic slices. The sprouts are placed in a mostly single layer and left undisturbed for several minutes to develop a browned exterior, then flipped to brown on the other side while softening inside. Seasoned with kosher salt and black pepper, the cooking progresses until they reach the desired tenderness.
After the initial sear, butter is added and stirred through the sprouts, coating them evenly and adding richness. Finally, freshly grated Parmesan cheese is tossed in, melting slightly from the heat and lending a savory, cheesy finish. The result is a dish with crisp, browned bits and a tender interior, combining savory garlic and buttery notes perfectly balanced by the cheese.
These Brussels sprouts can be served as a side dish for dinner or alongside roasted meats and grains. Leaving some texture and caramelization helps keep the sprouts flavorful and appealing. The method emphasizes pan-searing to bring out natural sweetness and aroma.
