- Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium high heat.4 Tbsp butter
- Once heated, add the halved brussel sprouts to the pan and saute for about 8-10 minutes on each side until the outer part is a caramelized brown and the inside is soft and fully cooked.
- Add the garlic half way through the cooking.5- 6 tbsp minced garlic

- Stir to combine and taste. Adjust seasonings if needed. Add the cheese on top and serve.3 tbsp Parmesan cheese
Notes
- Trust the process and don't flip the Brussels sprouts for around 8 minutes. You want that nice golden brown crust on the outside. That golden brown happens when the sugars in the sprouts caramelize.
- Adding the garlic midway through keeps it from burning.
- You could use olive oil instead of butter if you prefer to sauté the sprouts in.
