Smothered Brussels Sprouts Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Brussels Sprouts

   Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow or damaged leaves. Rinse them under cold water and pat dry.

2. 2

   Sauté the Garlic

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic cloves and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn them.

3. 3

   Cook the Brussels Sprouts

   Add the prepared Brussels sprouts to the skillet and stir to coat them in the garlic oil. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to brown.

4. 4

   Add Broth and Simmer

   Pour in the vegetable broth, bring it to a simmer, and cover the skillet. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are tender.

5. 5

   Make the Creamy Sauce

   Remove the lid and stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Allow the mixture to simmer for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.

6. 6

   Serve

   Remove from heat and serve hot as a delicious side dish or vegetarian main course.
