Ingredients
Scale
Brussels Sprouts
- 1 ½ pounds Brussels sprouts, halved
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Sauce
- ½ cup chicken broth
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Sauté Brussels Sprouts: In a medium-sized skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the halved Brussels sprouts and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5 to 7 minutes or until the Brussels sprouts are nearly tender, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Once done, remove them from the skillet and set aside.
- Prepare Creamy Sauce: Using the same skillet, whisk together ½ cup chicken broth, ½ cup heavy cream, and 2 teaspoons cornstarch until smooth. Add ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring this mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Combine and Finish: Return the sautéed Brussels sprouts to the skillet and toss them in the creamy Parmesan sauce until they are fully coated and warmed through, about 2 minutes. Adjust seasoning if needed and serve immediately.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth for a vegetarian version.
- Make sure not to overcook Brussels sprouts to keep a slight crunch.
- The cornstarch helps thicken the sauce; dissolve it well to avoid lumps.
- Parmesan cheese adds a rich umami flavor, but you can use Pecorino Romano for a sharper taste.
