Sauteed Brussels Sprouts Recipe with Garlic and Parmesan
Description
Sauteed Brussels Sprouts with Garlic and Parmesan starts by cooking the trimmed and halved sprouts in olive oil over medium heat until they begin to soften and brown slightly. Salt and pepper are added to season and enhance their natural flavor.
Butter and minced garlic are introduced toward the end, allowing the butter to melt and the garlic to release aroma without burning. Finally, grated Parmesan cheese is stirred in, coating the sprouts and adding a savory, slightly nutty flavor with a touch of richness.
The dish is served immediately to maintain the tender yet firm texture of the sprouts and to enjoy the contrast of sweet caramelization with the saltiness of Parmesan. A balsamic glaze drizzle can be added before serving for a bit of acidity and sweetness.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds Brussels sprouts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper or to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 teaspoons garlic minced
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add Brussels sprouts and toss to coat.
- Season with salt and pepper. Cook, undisturbed, for about 6-8 minutes, then stir and cook another 6-8 minutes until Brussels sprouts are fork-tender.
- Add butter and garlic to the pan. Stir until butter is fully melted and garlic is fragrant.
- Stir in parmesan cheese. Cook 1-2 minutes longer. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra flavor, drizzle balsamic glaze over the finished sprouts before serving.
