Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Trim and halve the Brussels sprouts. Remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves and rinse them under cold water.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is shimmering, add the Brussels sprouts cut side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the cut sides are golden and crispy.
- Flip the sprouts and cook for another 3-4 minutes until they are tender but still have a slight bite.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Reduce the heat to low and pour the honey garlic sauce over the sprouts. Toss to coat evenly.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and clings to the sprouts.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve warm.
