Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml / 1 fl oz) olive oil
  • 2 pounds (900 g / 31.7 oz) fresh Brussels sprouts, trimmed and quartered
  • Sea salt and ground black pepper, to taste
  • For the Creamy Dijon Dressing
  • ½ cup (120 g / 4.2 oz) full-fat sour cream
  • 3 tablespoons (45 g / 1.59 oz) Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml / 0.5 fl oz) apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons (10 ml / 0.3 fl oz) powdered erythritol
  • For the best char, ensure your pan is hot before adding the sprouts and don't overcrowd it. Cook in two batches if necessary.
  • The dressing can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  • Use this dressing on a shaved Brussels sprout salad for a delicious, no-cook alternative.

Method
 

  1. Directions
  2. Prepare the dressing first.
  3. In a large bowl (big enough to hold the sprouts later), whisk together the sour cream, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and powdered erythritol until smooth.
  4. Set aside.
  5. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat.
  6. Once shimmering, add the quartered Brussels sprouts in a single layer.
  7. Season generously with sea salt and black pepper.
  8. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sprouts are deeply charred on the outside and crisp-tender on the inside.
  9. Transfer the hot, cooked Brussels sprouts directly into the bowl with the dressing.
  10. Toss gently to coat everything evenly and serve immediately.
  11. Add crispy bacon bits or toasted pecans after tossing for extra crunch and a savory, salty flavor boost.
