Best Basic Garlic Butter Brussels Sprouts Recipes

BASIC GARLIC BUTTER BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• If you can, get your brussels sprouts from a store that sells them loose in bins; pick out the smaller, tight sprouts.
• To cook them, clean and trim the sprouts, removing the bottom stem and tougher outside leaves (very important!).
• You've already cut the bottom of the stalk off: now cut an"X" into the bottom of each sprout (about an 1/8 of an inch deep).
• Steam the sprouts for about 20 minutes, until they are soft (everybody prefers theirs in their own way, but I cannot stand crunchy brussels sprouts).
• While the sprouts are steaming, sauté the minced garlic in a little bit of butter for about 3 minutes, then combine them into the rest of the melted butter.
• When spouts are done cooking place them in a serving dish, pour the melted garlic butter over the sprouts, season lightly with salt and pepper, and serve.

Steps:

• Melt butter and olive oil in a medium skillet (over medium-high heat) until butter is foamy.
• Reduce heat to medium, add smashed garlic and cook until lightly browned.
• Remove garlic and discard.
• Add sprouts cut side down, cover, and cook without stirring on medium-low heat 10-15 minutes or until tender when pierced with a knife.
• The cut side of the sprouts should get nice and browned, with a nutty, buttery flavor enhanced by garlic.
• Top with freshly grated parmesan and salt& pepper to taste.

EASY GARLIC BUTTER SAUTéED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife, halve the brussels sprouts.
• Snap off any outer leaves that might be browning and discard. Finely chop/mince the garlic and set aside.
• Heat a large skillet or pan over medium high heat.
• Add a tablespoon of olive oil then add the halved brussels sprouts. Season with salt and pepper.
• Allow to sauté, tossing regularly, allowing the sprouts to caramelize.
• Once crisp tender, stir in the butter, garlic and chilli flakes (I use up to a half teaspoon for a nice spicy bite).
• Cook for another 4-5 minutes until the sprouts are cooked through (they're done when the tip of a sharp knife can easily be inserted).
• Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice then serve.
