The Brussels sprouts are sautéed in a savory garlic butter sauce and caramelized until golden brown. With just a few simple ingredients, they’re a perfect complement to your ketogenic lifestyle.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: Trim the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half, removing any tough outer leaves.
- Sauté the Brussels Sprouts: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the Brussels sprouts, cut side down, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they begin to brown and caramelize. Stir occasionally to ensure they cook evenly.
- Add Garlic and Butter: Once the Brussels sprouts are golden brown, reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir to coat the Brussels sprouts in the melted butter and garlic. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is fragrant and the Brussels sprouts are tender.
- Season and Serve: Season the Brussels sprouts with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika (if using). Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
- Serve: Transfer the Brussels sprouts to a serving dish and enjoy!
