Elevate Brussels sprouts with this recipe! Crispy, tender sprouts in a creamy garlic parmesan sauce—irresistibly delicious!

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional
  • Additional salt to taste

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are slightly browned, crispy on the edges, and tender in the middle, about 4–5 minutes.
  • Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  • Lower the heat to medium-low. Add the heavy whipping cream, Parmesan cheese, kosher salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens, about 2–3 minutes.
  • Transfer the Brussels sprouts to a serving dish. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese before serving.
