Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ¾ lb Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
- ¼ cup chopped roasted almonds
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the brussels sprouts cut side down and sprinkle them with salt. Let them cook for 5 minutes, or until they are tender but still have a bit of bite. Reduce the heat if the brussels are browning too much. See notes.
- Once the brussels can be pierced with a fork, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the chopped almonds and balsamic glaze.

Notes
- Depending on the size of the brussels sprouts, after 5 minutes they will be fork tender and still have a bit of delicious bite to them. If you prefer your brussels soft, add a splash of water and let them steam for another couple of minutes.
