Ingredients:

  • 1 lb (450 g) Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon (5 g) fresh thyme leaves (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) vegetable or chicken broth
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1-2 tablespoons (15-30 g) grated Parmesan cheese for serving

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Brussels sprouts by trimming and halving them.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  4. Stir in the halved Brussels sprouts, cooking until slightly browned (about 5-7 minutes).
  5. Pour in the broth, add thyme, and season with salt and pepper.
  6. Cover the skillet and reduce heat to low. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until sprouts are tender.
  7. Uncover, adjust seasoning if needed, top with Parmesan (if using), and serve hot.
