Pan Fried Brussels Sprouts

Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time10 minutes
Total Time20 minutes
Course: Side Dish

Equipment

  • cutting board + knife
  • skillet

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts, ends removed and cut in half
  • 1-2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
  • ¼ cup shallot, thinly diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ⅛ teaspoon iodized salt (or salt of choice)
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Prep: mince garlic and dice shallot, set aside. Cut the ends off of the Brussels sprouts and remove any leaves that are discolored or damaged. Then cut each in half.
  • Sear: add enough oil to a skillet to coat the bottom of it (about a teaspoon to a tablespoon depending on the size of your skillet). Then add Brussels sprout halves, cut side down. Place over medium-low heat and cook undisturbed for 5 minutes.
  • Cook: add shallot, coconut aminos, salt and pepper. Gently stir or (or shake the pan) to incorporate. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes (or until charred and fragrant), stirring occasionally. Add minced garlic in the last few minutes of cooking.
  • Enjoy: remove from heat and enjoy as is or top with sesame seeds or garlic flakes.

Notes

If you are using large or extra large Brussels sprouts, feel free to cut into thirds instead. The thinner the cut, the crispier the sprouts will get.
