- 1/2 Teaspoon course kosher salt
Instructions

- Add brussel sprouts to pan.
- Add salt and pepper.
- Stir to combine and then let sit on heat for 1 minute.

Notes
- Feel free to substitute ghee or avocado oil instead of olive oil.
- Feel free to add additional seasonings such as garlic powder, turmeric or a little paprika!
