Ingredients:

  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1-2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar for drizzling
  • Optional: Grated Parmesan cheese for topping

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Brussels Sprouts: Trim the stems and remove any outer leaves from the Brussels sprouts. Cut them in half, ensuring similar sizes for even cooking.
  2. Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  3. Toss with Olive Oil and Garlic: In a bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Ensure the Brussels sprouts are well coated.
  4. Skewer or Use a Grill Basket: You can either skewer the Brussels sprouts or use a grill basket to prevent them from falling through the grates.
  5. Grill: Place the Brussels sprouts on the preheated grill. Grill for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, or until they are charred and tender.
  6. Optional Balsamic Drizzle: Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the grilled Brussels sprouts for added flavor. Toss them to coat evenly.
  7. Serve: Transfer the grilled Brussels sprouts to a serving dish. If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.

Notes:

  • Grill Basket Tip: If you use a grill basket, it makes it easier to turn the Brussels sprouts without them falling through the grates.
  • Flavor Variations: Experiment with different seasonings or add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
  • Cheese Options: Besides Parmesan, you can try other cheeses like feta or goat cheese for added richness.
  • Make-Ahead: You can trim and halve the Brussels sprouts in advance and toss them with oil and seasonings just before grilling.
