Cynthia's Kitchen - Brussels Sprouts

Brussel Sprouts are one of my favorite vegetables. There are many ways to prepare them but here’s a very easy one:

Seared Brussel sprouts

-Trim ends of sprouts and cut in half lengthwise.

-Heat a couple of tablespoons of Olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. When pan is just short of smoking, place Brussel sprouts cut side down in the oil. Turn heat to medium and sear on one side until browned, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook on other side until browned. Some may be charred dark. That’s OK.

-Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper.

These are the simplest. Many people cook in oven with honey and balsamic, mustard, maple syrup, lemon juice, bacon, etc. but I like these plain Brussel sprouts the best.
