Annie Lau's Garlic Stir-Fried Brussels Sprouts

This simple garlic stir-fried Brussels sprouts dish is a revelation for anyone who usually finds this seasonal vegetable uninspiring. By using a hot frying pan and a touch of olive oil, the sprouts develop a beautiful caramelised edge that brings out their natural sweetness. The addition of fragrant garlic creates a savoury depth that complements the earthy sprout flavour perfectly, making it an ideal side dish for a Sunday roast or a quick midweek meal.

As a diabetes-friendly option, this recipe focuses on high-fibre greens and healthy fats, providing a nutritious addition to your plate without compromising on taste. The key to success is avoiding the overcooking that can lead to a soft texture; instead, these sprouts remain vibrant and tender-crisp. Serve them immediately while they are hot and full of smoky, charred flavour.

Ingredients for Annie Lau's Garlic Stir-Fried Brussels Sprouts

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

  • 4 garlic cloves, minced

  • 2 cups Brussels sprouts, outer leaves trimmed, then halved

  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

How to make Annie Lau's Garlic Stir-Fried Brussels Sprouts

  1. Heat the olive oil in nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant and light brown. Add the Brussels sprouts and turn heat to medium-high. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. Do not disturb for about a minute, so the edges caramelize, then toss. Leave for another minute or more. If the sprouts have not picked up enough golden colour toss again. The more caramelization (browning) you get, the better the flavour (high heat is key!). Be careful not to overcook, though, as that releases that nasty sulfur odor that puts people off Brussels sprouts.

  3. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
