Directions
Step 1 | |
Wash and dry sprouts. | |
Step 2 | |
Cut off the small stalk on the end, cut each sprout in half lengthwise, and remove any loose or browned leaves. | |

Add butter and oil to a large skillet and heat over medium-high eat until the butter starts to sizzle. | |

Once sizzling, place the sprouts, cut side down, in a single layer cramming as many as you can into the pan. Cook until they are golden brown and the sugars have caramelized, about 3-5 minutes.
