parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is lower in calories and dairy-free.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is often less expensive and has a neutral flavor.

Cut the ends off the Brussels sprouts and slice them in half. If they are large, cut them in half again.

Turn on a cast iron pan to medium-high heat (level 6 or 7 on an electric stove).

Drizzle olive oil into the pan, being careful not to add too much to avoid moisture.

Add the Brussels sprouts to the pan, making sure they are not stacked on top of each other.

Stir the Brussels sprouts to ensure nothing is sticking to the bottom of the pan.

Let the Brussels sprouts cook for about 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

After about 12 minutes, check the Brussels sprouts; they should be crispy and browned.

Squeeze the juice of a whole lemon over the Brussels sprouts (or half if unsure about the taste).

Add a couple of pinches of salt and black pepper to taste.

Pour in 1/4 cup of water and let it evaporate quickly to create a crispy caramelized texture.

Turn off the stove after about a minute, allowing the cast iron to retain heat.

Serve immediately.
