Calories: 112kcal
Ingredients
- 3/4 pound Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1/2 tablespoon Cholula or other hot sauce
Instructions
- Heat a frying pan over medium high heat. Add the butter. Once melted, add the Brussels sprouts and cook for 8 minutes, without moving them. Flip and continue cooking for 5 minutes.
- Mix together all of the spices in a bowl and mix.
- Sprinkle the seasoning over the Brussels sprouts. Toss to coat a few times until the sprouts are evenly coated with seasoning.
- For an optional sauce, combine mayonnaise and Cholula or another hot sauce you like in a bowl or squeeze bottle. Drizzle over the sprouts or serve in a dipping bowl.
Notes
- Be sure to cut the stem off the sprouts and remove tough outer leaves. You can cut them in 1/2 or in 1/4, if they are large sprouts.
- Let the sprouts sit in the pan without moving them for at least 5 minutes when sauteing. This is what gives them the caramelized sear.
- If you want it spicier, add some cayenne pepper to the mixture or add hot sauce after cooking.
