OLIVE OR AVOCADO OIL:

BUTTER:

  • Butter contributes richness and aids in producing a crispy, golden finish. To better manage the seasoning, use unsalted.

FRESH GARLIC:

  • We use fresh garlic for a robust, fragrant base, and we can add the garlic according to taste.

RED PEPPER FLAKES:

  • We can also add the red pepper flakes to make the spicy Brussels sprouts. If you want a softer dish, leave it out.

PARMESAN CHEESE:

  • Parmesan cheese improves the flavor overall and adds a nutty, savory finish.

LEMON JUICE:

  • Add lemon juice at the end for a zesty, new flavor; it balances the richness and brightens the dish.
