Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 12 small to medium Brussels sprouts
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon celery salt
  • 1 handful crumbled bacon (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese grated or shredded (optional)

Instruction

  • First, clean the sprouts. Trim the cut ends back without interfering with the leaves, and peel any withered leaves off the bulb. Score the bottoms; one cut will suffice.
  • Add the sprouts to a pot of boiling, salted water and cook, about 5 minutes.
  • Drain well, then drizzle with oil and toss in a bowl with the salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and celery salt.
  • Place sprouts on a hot grill, turning every 4 minutes for a total of 12 minutes.
  • Remove from the grill back to the seasoning bowl and toss to coat with any remaining seasoning.
  • If desired, add any or all of the remaining three ingredients (bacon, lemon zest, and Parmesan cheese). Serve immediately.
