Charred Brussels Sprouts with Za'atar & Date Syrup
This is my new favorite way to make Brussels sprouts! They are cooked in a cast iron skillet - way faster than roasting them in an oven and charred to perfection.
Toss the Brussels sprouts with some salt and set aside
Heat a large cast iron skillet to medium with 4 Tbsp of olive oil and add the Brussels sprouts by arrange them cut-side down
Cook the Brussels sprouts without moving them, until they are charred. It takes about 7-10 minutes, but depends on the size of your skillet
With the help of tongs, flip them and cook them for 5-7 minutes on the other side
Transfer the Brussels sprouts to a bowl and set aside
In the same skillet, on medium heat, add 1 tsp of olive oil and sauté the garlic until fragrant and slightly brown
Now add the charred sprouts back to the skillet, reduce heat to the lowest setting and toss them with the garlic
Stir in the zaatar
Turn off heat and transfer to a serving bowl
Drizzle the date syrup and pomegranate arils just before serving
