Pan Fried Brussels Sprouts
Description
The recipe for Pan Fried Brussels Sprouts begins with trimming and halving the sprouts before tossing them in olive oil and spices including salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cooking them cut-side down in a combination of olive oil and butter creates a crisp, golden surface. After browning, the sprouts are sautéed until tender. An optional maple syrup drizzle during cooking adds a touch of sweetness that balances their natural bitterness. Finishing with parmesan cheese gives a savory and slightly salty contrast.
This method results in sprouts with a crisp exterior and tender interior, enhanced by the butter and seasoning blend. The maple syrup complements the sprouts without overpowering them, and parmesan adds umami depth. The dish works well as a side or a warm vegetable component to a meal.
The recipe notes are not provided, but standard practices include monitoring the sprouts to avoid burning and adjusting seasoning as desired. Maple syrup is optional and can be omitted for a more straightforward pan-fried vegetable flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts trimmed and cut in half
- 2 tbsp olive oil divided in half
- ¼ tsp salt
- ⅕ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp butter unsalted
- 1 tbsp maple syrup optional but recommend
- parmesan to taste
Instructions
- Add the prepared brussels sprouts to a large bowl along with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Toss until well combined.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the rest of the olive oil and butter. Once melted, add the brussels sprouts, cut-side down.
- Let the brussels sprouts cook untouched for 2 to 3 minutes or until the cut-side is golden brown.
- Using a wooden spoon or silicone spatula, saute the sprouts for a few seconds before flipping them all cut-side up. Let the other side brown as well before sauteeing them until tender, the total cook time for this step shouldn’t take more than 8 to 10 minutes. Add a drizzle of maple syrup halfway through, if desired.
- Top with as much or as little parmesan as you’d like before serving.
