Ingredients
12ouncesfresh brussel sprouts
1tablespoonextra virgin olive oilor ghee
½teaspoonkosher salt
¼teaspoonground black pepper
Instructions
Prep: Cut the stem off of each brussel sprout and peel off a few of the outer leaf layers to discard. Thinly slice each brussel sprout by hand with a sharp knife or use a mandoline slicer. You can also pulse in a food processor.
Cook: Bring a large cast iron skillet to a medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Add brussel sprouts to the hot pan and sprinkle with ½ teaspoon kosher salt and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper. Stir to combine and then let sit on heat for 1 minute. Option to add a little more olive oil, if pan is starting to get a little dry. Continue stirring and letting them sit until cooked to your desired crispness.
Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately.
Notes
Olive oil: option to substitute ghee or avocado oil, instead of olive oil.
Seasoning: Feel free to add additional seasonings such as garlic powder, turmeric or a little paprika! Some people also like a touch of balsamic vinegar or parmesan cheese, when serving!
Storage: keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
Bacon Grease: I love making this recipe in the same pan I already made crispy bacon in! Just pour off the grease and the little bit of remaining grease coats the pan nicely!
