Sauteed Brussel Sprouts

If you are a Farmer’s Market Frequenter or up to date on seasonal vegetables then you know fall is Brussel Sprout Season. Forget the pumpkin spice for a minute, because this is the best season for a very underappreciated vegetable. Brussel sprouts are the quintessential “yucky” vegetable, yet since finding it on my plate in college, I have never looked back. There is a quick and easy way to make these a favorite- especially this fall season!

Serves: 4                      Prep Time: 10 minutes; Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

·        1 pound of Brussel Sprouts (or pick them right off the stalk from your local market)

·        2 Tablespoons of Avocado oil (or regular Olive Oil)

·        Kosher Salt and Black Pepper to Taste

Recipe

1.     Cut the bottom off the brussel sprout to remove the remaining fibrous stalk. Cut in half.

2.     In a medium sauce pan, heat oil on medium heat.

3. Add cut brussel sprouts to oil and begin to saute. Shake the pan intermittently to cook the brussel sprouts on all sides.

4. Add salt and pepper generously to taste.

5. Once soft in the middle (some parts may brown which is good - adds a nice crisp!) remove from heat. You can place on a paper towel to absorb any residual oil or plate immediately, serve, & enjoy.

Tips:

  • If you have particularly fibrous brussel sprouts, add a dash of water while cooking- being careful of oil drops when doing this - and cook until water is absorbed.

  • You can play around with dressings or other spices here. Garlic Olive OIl & Lemon, Balsamic, or red pepper all bring a different flavor to the dish!
