Prep time: 3 min

Cook time: 10 min

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of Brussel sprouts – about 15 large Brussel sprouts chopped in halves

• 3 tablespoons of garlic powder
• A teaspoon of salt
• 1/3 cup of pumpkin seeds

Tools and Utensils

• One cast iron or non-stick pan, personally I like the cast-iron pan because it gives the Brussel sprouts a nice crispy texture

Have all your ingredients ready-to-go beside the stove, this dish needs to be cooked quickly.

Step 1: Cut the Brussel sprouts in halves and place them face down in the cast-iron or non-stick pan.

Step 2:Place the pan on the stove-top and heat up your cast-iron pan to high – let the Brussel sprouts cook (without oil or any other ingredients) for 3-5 minutes until the bottoms become crispy and charred.

Step 3: Add 1/2 cup of avocado oil and mix the Brussel sprouts and cook for another 1-2 minutes.

1. Lower the heat of the pan to medium.
2. Add 3 tbsp of soy sauce and mix, and cook for 1 min.
