Sauteed Brussels Sprouts
Sautéed Brussels sprouts are a fantastic side dish that combines a crispy outer layer with a tender and flavorful interior. This recipe features a hint of spice from gochujang for an added layer of taste.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 1 tsp gochujang Korean red chili paste
Instructions
- Begin by trimming the ends of the Brussels sprouts and cutting them in half lengthwise. This ensures even cooking and a nice sear.
- Place a large, very hot skillet over high heat. Add the Brussels sprouts and sear for about 2 minutes until slightly blackened.
- Turn down the heat to medium, then add olive oil, salt, black pepper, and gochujang all at once. Stir to coat the Brussels sprouts evenly with the seasoning and spice mixture.
- Continue to cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the Brussels sprouts are tender and have a delicious seared exterior.
- Transfer the sautéed Brussels sprouts to a serving platter and enjoy while they're hot.
Notes
Cooking Tip: Using a hot skillet at the beginning ensures a nice sear. However, if the skillet gets too hot and the sprouts begin to char too quickly, reduce the heat slightly.
