Introduction

Creating the perfect grilled Brussels sprouts on the Arteflame grill is a delightful and satisfying experience. With its ability to sear at high temperatures and a flat griddle cooktop that ensures an even sear without burning, you can achieve deliciously crispy Brussels sprouts. Follow this recipe to make Brussels sprouts that are sure to impress your family and friends.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Lemon zest (optional, for garnish)
• Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Fire up the grill: Preheat your Arteflame grill by lighting the fire and allowing it to heat up. Get it ready for grilling by ensuring the flat griddle cooktop is clean and lightly oiled.

2. Prepare the Brussels sprouts: In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with melted butter, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

3. Grill the Brussels sprouts: Place the Brussels sprouts on the flat griddle cooktop, using the medium heat zone. Grill for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are crispy and golden brown on the outside and tender on the inside.

4. Garnish and serve: Transfer the grilled Brussels sprouts to a serving platter. Garnish with lemon zest and fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.

Tips:

• Butter over olive oil: Using butter instead of olive oil adds a rich, delicious flavor to the Brussels sprouts.
• Different heat zones: Utilize the different heat zones on the Arteflame grill’s flat griddle cooktop to control the cooking temperature perfectly.
• Even sear: Pressing the Brussels sprouts lightly with a spatula ensures an even sear and helps achieve a crispy texture.
• Remove early: Always remove the Brussels sprouts when they are slightly underdone as they will keep cooking off the heat.
• If you want your sprouts to be more tender, try soaking them in water for 30 minutes before grilling.

Variations:

1. Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the Brussels sprouts during the last few minutes of grilling for a rich, cheesy flavor.
2. Garlic Butter: Toss the Brussels sprouts in a mixture of melted butter and extra garlic for a bold, garlicky taste.
3. Sweet and Spicy: Add a drizzle of honey and a pinch of red pepper flakes to the Brussels sprouts for a sweet and spicy kick.
4. Balsamic Glaze: Finish the Brussels sprouts with a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a tangy and sweet flavor.
5. Bacon: Add crispy, crumbled bacon to the Brussels sprouts after grilling for an extra savory touch.

Best pairings

• Grilled Steak: The smoky, caramelized flavors of the Brussels sprouts complement a juicy grilled steak.
• Roasted Chicken: Pair with herb-roasted chicken for a balanced and comforting meal.
• Fish: Serve alongside grilled salmon or any flaky white fish for a nutritious and tasty dish.
• Quinoa or Rice: For a vegetarian option, serve the Brussels sprouts over quinoa or rice with an extra drizzle of balsamic glaze.
• Red Wine: A robust red wine like a Pinot Noir or Zinfandel pairs well with the smoky flavors.
