Cook's Hideout: Pan Seared Brussels Sprouts with Toasted Almonds

Pan Seared Brussels Sprouts with Toasted Almonds

Here's a quick and easy side dish made with Brussels Sprouts for your holiday meals. Brussels sprouts have quite a bad rap because they tend to be pungent and mealy when cooked improperly. But this pan seared brussels sprouts recipe is so tasty that even my 3 year old couldn't stop eating them.
Seared Brussels Sprouts with Almonds
Pan searing brussels sprouts until toasty is a quick alternative to roasting them in the oven. Topping with crispy panko breadcrumbs and almonds nicely balance both the taste and texture of the dish.

Garlic flavored olive oil is used to cook the sprouts and toast the bread crumbs. Luckily I had Colavita roasted garlic flavored extra olive oil and it made the dish taste absolutely delicious.

Recipe is from Vegetarian Times magazine

  2. I am not a big fan of brussels sprouts but grilling it with a southwestern flavours or lemon and garlic salt is probably the only way I can have it!! Lovely clicks.

  6. I hated brussel sprouts for a long time because of my first experience eating raw while in a play in college...don't ask....but once I tasted them cooked I have now loved brussel sprouts - this looks like another delicious way to enjoy them
