For an even richer flavor, add a splash of balsamic vinegar to the skillet in the last minute of cooking. To add some protein, consider tossing in toasted pecans or crumbled bacon. Using a light-colored saucepan makes it easier to monitor the browning of the butter and prevent burning.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Brussels Sprouts: Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Blanch the Brussels sprouts for 1-2 minutes until slightly tender. Immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain well. (Time: 5 minutes)
02
StepSear the Sprouts: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Arrange the Brussels sprouts cut-side down in the hot oil. Season with red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Cook undisturbed until the cut sides are deeply browned, about 7-9 minutes. (Time: 10 minutes)
03
StepSauté Aromatics: Add the chopped red onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the Brussels sprouts are tender-crisp and the onions are softened, about 10-13 minutes. (Time: 15 minutes)
04
StepBrown the Butter: In a separate light-colored saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. As the butter melts, it will begin to bubble and foam. Continue cooking, swirling the pan occasionally, until the butter turns a golden-brown color and emits a nutty aroma, approximately 5-10 minutes. Be careful not to burn it! (Time: 10 minutes)
05
StepCombine and Serve: Remove the browned butter from the heat and immediately pour it over the Brussels sprouts in the skillet. Toss to coat evenly. Serve immediately, while warm.
