This Sautéed Brussel Sprouts recipe is ridiculously delicious. It’s loaded with garlic, Parmesan cheese, pecans, almonds, and crispy bits of turkey.

These Sauteed Brussel Sprouts cost approximately $5.83 to make. The recipe makes four servings for about $1.45 per serving.

Serve these Brussel Sprouts alongside this Roasted Delicata Squash, Fall Spinach Salad, and Sauteed Green Beans with Garlic and Mint as your side dishes for your Thanksgiving meal.

This is the kind of side dish to take to any Thanksgiving gathering. It contains familiar ingredients like parmesan cheese and turkey, yet the walnuts and thin-sliced almonds give the perfect elegant touch.

If you are on the fence about Brussel Sprouts, as many people are, it is time to give them another chance. It could be that they were not cooked correctly the last time you tried them.

As you sautee the Brussel Sprouts, the natural sweetness of the recipe comes out, and a sweet caramelization takes place. Leaving you with a savory nutty flavor that is topped with Parmesan cheese and additional nuts.

The Brussel Sprouts also have a slight crunch on the outside while being soft and tender on the inside. They are quick and easy to make, which makes this Sauteed Brussel Sprouts recipe a winner on all levels.

Storage Tips

SERVE: You can keep these out for no more than two hours before they need to be covered and refrigerated.

STORE: Place leftovers in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for no more than two days.

FREEZE: This recipe does not freeze and defrost well so I do not recommend freezing it.

Recipe FAQs

How Do You Get the Bitterness Out of Brussel Sprouts?

Properly cooked brussels sprouts will not have any bitterness. Season the sprouts well. Make sure not to overcook the sprouts, or else they can turn out to be too mushy.

Should you blanch Brussel sprouts before frying?

There is no need to blanch the Brussel sprouts before frying them in this recipe. The only prep work needed is to thinly slice the Brussel sprouts before frying them.

Why are my Brussels sprouts tough?

Mushy Brussel sprouts or tough ones are the worst! If there is not enough oil in the pan, the Brussel sprouts will not fry properly, leaving them tough instead of crispy and soft.
