Such amazing pan-fried Brussels sprouts! Fear not the Brussels sprouts… Although they are green, they taste better when pan-fried. Use it as a side dish or, if you’re anything like me, grab it for breakfast on the move!

As others have mentioned the sprouts aren’t tender if you follow this recipe exactly. I had an instinct, and it was confirmed when I compared another recipe which advised after pan-frying a bit–cover/with a low flame for approx. 15 minutes
An all right way of cooking it, but it doesn’t taste anything special. Nothing out of the ordinary. Add some butter, or a sauce, or have a little sugar on it!
I LOVE Brussel Sprouts. This recipe was quick, simple and easy. I followed it the first time. The second time, I added butter to the pan. Then added almonds and crispy bacon bits. Finally the fresh garlic
I loved this recipe. I parboiled the sprouts first as I like a little less crunch. This would also be lovely if you added some bacon pieces or lardons.
Followed exactly. The Brussels sprouts were far from done. I usually don’t make new recipes on an important occasion but tried this one for Thanksgiving. Mistake! I recommend parboiling first. It was too late for me so we finished them in the microwave.
I can’t really taste any of the garlic or onion in this recipe when i made it
Can you ever get enough of brussel sprouts! So many ways to prepare them…we loved this recipe and use it often, especially when entertaining. Yes, this recipe has converted some folks who previously wouldn’t touch brussel sprouts with a ten foot pole!!
Do not add garlic first…..or onions. Unless you want mush and burnt garlic.
Delicious!
This turned out to be a real win at Thanksgiving! I liked the minced garlic and onion flavor. It was a perfect side dish for the meal.
These are delicious! I made them for the first time for Thanksgiving and they were a hit. Followed instructions but left out garlic powder at the end.
Quick and easy, and quite tasty!
Delicious!! One of our local Star5 Restaurants has this on their menu with a few improvements: Add crispy bacon and crispy almonds. Make a thickened balsamic vinegar sauce, by simply reducing the vinegar to sprinkle over the brussel sprouts…makes SUCH a difference!
Another excellent recipe for green veggies! The grandchildren ate them all up. Simply delicious!1
We loved them cooked this way!!
Great! And versatile recipe. It can be played with a bit. It’s true-we shouldn’t ‘be afraid ??of’Brussel Sprouts any more! Awesome
No. This recipe is backwards. By the time the Brussel sprouts are done the onion is burned to a crisp. Brussel sprouts should be cooked first until almost done then add onion for about 5 minutes and then garlic for last 2 minutes.
I made these but used bacon grease and bacon added… delish!
Delicious, and very easy. I was using the cast iron pan for steak, so I made them in a Gotham pan . Also, I covered the pan so they steamed a bit while they cooked. They were superb.
I used fresh yellow and orange bell peppers, fresh garlic, fresh parsley. Olive oil and creole seasoning.
Very tasty! I added the garlic and onion at the same time as my Brussel sprouts and my onions still ended up a bit burnt but I still liked it. Also added some white cooking wine to the mix and steamed them a bit. I also cut them into quarters so they would cook faster.
