Sauteed Garlic Brussels Sprouts

This is one of my go-to recipes for both family dinners and when we have friends over.  It is a variation of a recipe I got from friend's of ours.  (Thanks Kelly & Jason!)  It is super simple and tastes delicious! 

1 bag fresh Brussels Sprouts
1 Tbsp. Olive Oil
1-2 cloves Garlic, minced
Salt and Pepper to taste

Wash, pat dry and trim the Brussels Sprouts, then cut them in half.  If you leave a little extra room when cutting off the stem, they are less likely to fall apart when cooking.  Pour the Olive Oil in a frying pan, then add the minced garlic before turning on the heat.  If you add the garlic to the olive oil before it is hot and let it gradually heat up, it is less likely to scorch so you don't accidentally have to start over!  After the garlic starts to brown, add the Brussels Sprouts then sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.  Let them brown on one side before turning them over.  The less you flip them, the less likely they are to start coming apart.  Cook until they just start to turn soft.  Serve and enjoy!  The picture below also features the Easy Gluten Free Fried Chicken and Stir Fry Summer Veggies.
