1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons crushed garlic
1/4 white onion, chopped
1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed
Salt, to taste
Ground black pepper, to taste
1 pinch garlic powder, to taste
Instructions
- Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and cut any large ones in half for even cooking.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
- Add the crushed garlic and cook until fragrant and lightly golden.
- Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring often, until softened and translucent.
- Add the Brussels sprouts to the skillet in a single layer.
- Let them cook undisturbed for several minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
- Stir and flip the Brussels sprouts and continue cooking until evenly browned and tender.
- Season with salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder.

Notes
Do not overcrowd the pan to achieve crisp edges.
Fresh Brussels sprouts work best for browning.
Add lemon juice at the end for brightness.
Great with grated cheese or toasted nuts on top.
Reheat in a skillet to restore crispness.
