Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat, evenly coat the surface with walnut oil. (1 minute)

02

Step

Arrange Brussels sprouts, cut-sides down, in the skillet. Cook undisturbed until deeply browned and caramelized, approximately 5 to 10 minutes.

03

Step

Pour fresh orange juice over the browned sprouts. Continue cooking until the sprouts are tender and the juice has slightly reduced, about 5 minutes.

04

Step

Transfer the Brussels sprouts and any remaining juice to a large serving bowl.

05

Step

While the sprouts are cooking, toast the chopped walnuts in a small, dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until lightly golden and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Be careful not to burn them!

06

Step

Add the toasted walnuts and orange zest to the Brussels sprouts. Gently toss to combine.

07

Step

Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
To ensure even browning, avoid overcrowding the skillet. Cook the Brussels sprouts in batches if necessary.
Freshly squeezed orange juice is highly recommended for the best flavor.
The browning process is key to developing the nutty, sweet flavor of the sprouts. Don't be afraid to let them get nicely caramelized.
You can substitute pecans or almonds for walnuts if preferred.

    Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when browning the Brussels sprouts. It's better to cook them in batches if necessary.
