Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Blanch the Sprouts: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook for 6-8 minutes until just tender but still bright green. Drain well.
- Prepare Garlic Butter: In the same pot or a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned.
- Sauté the Sprouts: Add the drained Brussels sprouts to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sprouts are golden and coated with the garlic butter.
- Finish with Lemon: Remove from heat. Drizzle with fresh lemon juice and toss to coat evenly.
- Garnish and Serve: If using, sprinkle with grated Parmesan and chopped parsley. Serve immediately while hot and flavorful.
