Garlic butter Brussels sprouts are one of the easiest recipes you can make at home because it only requires four ingredients: butter, garlic, salt, and of course, the sprouts. Add your minced garlic to a skillet with the butter to bring out its aromatic properties before adding the sliced Brussels sprouts. The edges of the sprouts should be charred but still firm to the touch. Moreover, this flavorful add-in will promote the beautiful brown color and caramelized flavor on the outside of the sprouts and plays well with a variety of main dishes, including pork, chicken, or fish.
Another way to use butter to boost the flavor of your sprouts is to brown it in a pan before adding it to your sprouts. Browning toasts the milk solids in the butter, which adds a toffee-like sweetness to your sprouts. It can also be a vector for fresh garlic, but we also recommend adding a handful of toasted pine nuts to the plate.
