Equipment

• Skewers (metal or wooden soaked in water for 30 minutes)
• Mixing bowl
• Grill or grill pan
• Tongs

Ingredients

• 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp smoked paprika (optional for a smoky flavor)
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Brussels Sprouts:
   • Trim the ends of each Brussels sprout and remove any yellow or damaged leaves. Slice larger sprouts in half to ensure even cooking.
2. Season the Brussels Sprouts:
   • In a mixing bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
3. Thread onto Skewers:
   • Thread the Brussels sprouts onto skewers, leaving a bit of space between each one to ensure even cooking.
4. Preheat the Grill:
   • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F).
5. Grill the Brussels Sprouts:
   • Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally with tongs. Grill until the Brussels sprouts are charred and tender when pierced with a fork.
6. Serve:
   • Remove the Brussels sprouts from the grill and serve immediately, with lemon wedges on the side for added brightness.

Tips

• For Extra Flavor: Add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese or drizzle balsamic glaze over the grilled Brussels sprouts before serving.
• Alternative Grilling Method: If you don’t have skewers, place the seasoned Brussels sprouts on a grill basket instead.
• Oven Option: If you’re not grilling, you can also roast the Brussels sprouts at 425°F for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
