I have been in love with making Brussels Sprouts ever since I participated in the Creative Kitchen Challenge last summer when we were still Beyond the Green Door. They are not only tasty but I found them to be some of the most versatile vegetables around!
This recipe is a quick but elegant side dish, perfect for holiday entertaining — or all year round! The teaspoon of sugar does a wonderful job of caramelizing the sprouts and shallots ever so slightly for the perfect hint of sweetness.
Sautéed Brussels Sprouts and Shallots — from Cooking Light Magazine
Heat a large skilled over medium high heat. Add oil to pan, swirling to coat.
Add shallots and sauté for 3 minutes or until almost tender, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
Add Brussels Sprouts and sugar to the pan and sauté for 5 minutes or until brown and cooked through. Stir occasionally.
Season with salt and pepper. Toss and serve.
I just got a big bag of brussel sprouts, that sugar has me fascinated and I am going to make this today. Really sounds delicious.
Thanks Suzanne! If you made them, hope you enjoyed. 🙂

After a childhood mix-up where I insisted on this fact, not realizing that the tasty + crunchy sprouts I had tried were bean sprouts, my mom tried to cook brussels sprouts for me…it took me a long time to actually come around to loving brussels sprouts. Anything caramelized is bound to convince even the pickiest kiddo (well, maybe–at least it’ll work for me!)
Love this story, Alicia! I think you would enjoy these. 🙂
As a big Brussels sprout fan, my mouth is watering!
Hehe! Mission complete! 🙂
