Pan Roasted Brussel Sprouts
Description
Brussel sprouts are halved and cooked over medium-high heat in a skillet with olive oil and butter. Garlic is sautéed first to infuse the fat, then removed to prevent burning, before adding the sprouts and pearl onions. Stirring occasionally allows the sprouts to develop golden brown caramelized spots while becoming tender.
After cooking, the garlic is returned to the pan along with salt, pepper, and lemon juice, adding a fresh acidity that complements the roasted flavor. The pearl onions, when included, add a mild sweetness and textural variation.
Serve immediately to retain the crispness of the caramelized edges. This preparation balances savory, buttery flavors with citrus sharpness, suitable as a side for meats or vegetarian meals.
The recipe includes tips for storage and substitutions, such as using all olive oil for a vegan option, or replacing pearl onions with chopped small onions. Garlic can be omitted or substituted with garlic powder if preferred.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 garlic sliced, cloves
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts halved
- 6-8 pearl onions peeled/halved (optional)
- salt
- black pepper
- 1/2 lemon juiced
Instructions
- Trim the stems off brussel sprouts and then cut in half lengthwise.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium high heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove the garlic from the pan and set aside.
- Add the brussel sprouts and pearl onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until brussel sprouts are fork tender and golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. Once caramelized, season with salt and pepper, stir in the lemon juice and toss the garlic back in the pan.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for 4-5 days in the refrigerator.
- Trim and halve brussel sprouts ahead of time for faster cooking later; avoid cooking garlic in advance as its flavor is infused during cooking.
- Butter can be substituted with olive oil to make it vegan-friendly.
- If pearl onions are unavailable, chopped small onions can be used as a substitute.
- Omitting garlic is acceptable; garlic powder can be sprinkled on instead.
