Skillet Roasted Brussels Sprouts With Various Additions Recipes

PAN-ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add Brussels sprouts and season with salt and pepper. Add lemon juice and cook until Brussels sprouts start to brown on some leaves, about 3 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until sprouts are fork-tender, about 15 minutes.

SKILLET-BRAISED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large skillet over medium-low heat; cook until just crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, reserving bacon grease in skillet.
• Increase heat to medium-high under skillet; saute Brussels sprouts in the bacon grease until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic to Brussels sprouts; saute until garlic is fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Pour chicken stock over Brussels sprouts mixture and cover skillet with a lid; simmer until Brussels sprouts are bright green, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove lid and continue simmering until liquid is evaporated and sprouts are tender, about 5 more minutes.
• Remove skillet from heat and stir bacon, butter, vinegar, salt, and pepper into Brussels sprouts mixture until butter is melted.

SAUTéED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Heat a large cast iron or similar sturdy bottomed skillet over medium high for 4 minutes. Add the oil. As soon as the oil is hot and shining (but before it starts smoking), swirl to cost the pan, then add the halved Brussels sprouts. Shake the skillet a little and prod them so that as many as possible are cut-side down. Let sit completely undisturbed for 5 to 8 minutes, until they develop a dark, tasty, caramelized sear.
• Add the salt and pepper. With a wooden spoon or spatula, stir the Brussels sprouts. Continue cooking, stirring every few minutes, until the Brussels sprouts are browned all over and just turning tender the inside, about 6 to 8 additional minutes.
• Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the vinegar, then the pine nuts or almonds. Let the residual heat of the skillet toast the nuts, stirring them very often so that they toast evenly on all sides and do not burn (if they aren't toasting, return the skillet to low heat). As soon as the nuts are toasted, transfer the sprouts to a serving plate and sprinkle with fresh herbs. Enjoy hot.

OVEN-ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Heat oil in a cast iron skillet until shimmering. Place Brussels sprouts carefully in the hot oil, cut-side down. Sprinkle in garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook until Brussels sprouts begin to brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Transfer skillet to the preheated oven and cook until Brussels sprouts are very browned and tender, 10 to 20 minutes. Shake skillet every 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
• Season with salt and pepper, stir in balsamic vinegar, and serve immediately.
