Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 pounds Brussels sprouts sliced thin
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 small lemon, juiced about 3 tablespoons worth
- 2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese OPTIONAL
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet, over medium-high heat. Add the Brussels sprouts and stir gently to coat with oil. Add a splash of water (about 2 tablespoons) to the skillet and cover with a lid for about 2 minutes.
- Continue sauteing, stirring occasionally, until the Brussels sprouts are bright green and tender, about 5-6 minutes total. Add the garlic and season the Brussels with salt and pepper flakes. Cook an additional minute, until the garlic is fragrant.
- Add the butter to the skillet, let it melt, and then drizzle lemon juice over the sprouts. Toss to coat with butter and lemon.
- Taste and add more salt, only if needed. Sprinkle with Parmesan before serving, if desired.
