Pan Fried Brussels Sprouts with Balsamic Glaze

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey (or a sugar substitute if you’re being fancy)
  • 1 tablespoon butter (because, why not?)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, but highly recommended)
  • Chopped walnuts or pecans for a crunchy surprise (optional)

Instructions:

  1. First, gather all your ingredients like you’re assembling the Avengers team. We need them together for this culinary showdown!
  2. Heat that olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. You want it hot enough to make the Brussels sprouts sizzle like they’re dancing at a disco.
  3. Add the Brussels sprouts to the skillet, cut side down. Let them hang out for about 5-7 minutes until they’re gorgeously golden brown. Flip them like a pro!
  4. As they’re getting their golden on, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Don’t be shy! This isn’t a potato chip bag; flavor away!
  5. Now it’s time for the glaze! In a small bowl, whisk together that balsamic vinegar and honey until they form a sweet, tangy union that’s destined for greatness.
  6. Pour the balsamic mixture over the Brussels sprouts. Watch them bubble and get happy! Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is well-coated and divine.
  7. Take it up a notch with a dollop of butter. Swirl it in until melted. Oh yeah, we’re talking about a flavor explosion here!
  8. If you’re feeling fancy, sprinkle grated Parmesan and your choice of crunchy nuts on top. They’re like the confetti of your dish. Who doesn’t love a good party?
  9. Remove from heat and serve immediately. Get ready to be a kitchen hero as everyone gathers around for a taste!
