Ingredients




1 pound brussels sprouts
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon honey
Sea salt
Sprinkle of red chili flakes

Preparation

1 Trim any loose or yellow leaves from the sprouts.  Cut the stem off of each brussels sprout and then cut each one in half. 2 In a small bowl, mix a tablespoon of soft butter (microwave it for 10-20 seconds if it’s coming straight from the refrigerator) with a tablespoon of honey. 3 Heat a wide, flat skillet on medium heat.  Add the honey butter and allow to bubble and melt then add the brussels sprouts.  Arrange the brussels sprouts cut side down in a single layer.  Cook for about 8-10 minutes uncovered until the cut side gets golden and a little charred. 4 Sprinkle chili flakes and a generous amount of salt over the brussels sprouts. 5 Stir the brussels sprouts around so most of them turn over cut side up.  Add two tablespoons of water and cook covered for another 3-5 minutes until the brussels sprouts are soft through and through.  Test one by poking it with a fork. 6 Adjust for salt and spice. Serve hot.
