Honey Glazed Brussel Sprouts
Honey Glazed Brussel Sprouts are my current brussel sprout favorite. It's fast, flavorful, and easy to make. The honey adds a perfect splash of sweet that beautifully complements the caramelly flavor of the sauteed brussel sprouts making it a perfect quick and easy AIP side dish!
Ingredients
- 1/2 lbs. Brussel Sprouts
- 1/2 Medium Onion
- 2-3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- ½ Teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 Tablespoon Honey
Instructions
- Turn on a cast iron skillet to Medium high heat and coat the bottom with about 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Slice onion lengthwise, and as soon as they are sliced put them in the skillet to let the onions start sauteing.
- Slice brussel sprouts into thirds or fourths, depending on the size of the brussel sprouts. The thinner you can slice them the faster they will cook.
- Sautee them for 10 minutes until they start to caramelize. Make sure to stir every few minutes to make sure they cook evenly.
- Once they start to look caramelized add salt, garlic powder, and honey. Cook for another 5-10 minutes or until they reach desired texture.
Notes
Use cast iron or stainless instead of non-stick. I’m sure there is some type of science behind it, but whenever I use nonstick, it doesn't seem to sear the veggies the same way. Honestly its a personal preference, but I've found that brussel sprouts tend to caramelize better if you use cast iron or stainless. I am a personal fan of cast iron, but any frying pan will do the trick.
Start heating the skillet before you start cutting the onion. Vegetables caramelize better when the skillet is already pretty hot. So make sure to start the skillet and put oil in it before you cut the onions so it can heat up while you are cutting them.
