INGREDIENTS

1. Brussels sprouts, 1 pint (about a pound)

2. 4–6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, enough to cover the bottom of the pan

4. Season with salt and pepper to taste

METHOD

STEP 1 Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celcius. Trim the bottoms of brussels sprouts and cut them in half vertically. In a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil until it shimmers; arrange sprouts cut side down in a single layer in pan. Add garlic and season with salt & pepper to taste.

STEP 3 Season with more salt and pepper as desired. Serve hot or warm, with balsamic vinegar.
