Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Brussels Sprouts, (ends trimmed and Brussels sprouts cut in half)
  • 4 cloves garlic, (chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon fresh ground pepper
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, (cut into 4 pieces)
  • ¾ cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Grease the insert of a 5-quart slow cooker with cooking spray or a bit of butter.
  • Add the trimmed Brussels sprouts, chopped garlic, olive oil, kosher salt, and ground pepper to the insert. Mix everything to combine well.
  • Arrange the pieces of butter over the Brussels sprouts.

Cooking

  • Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 2 to 3 hours, or until the Brussels sprouts are tender.
  • Once done, remove the cover and top the sprouts with Parmesan cheese. Stir to combine and cover for a minute or two, until the cheese has melted completely.
  • Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed.

Serving

  • Serve warm.

Notes

These Brussels sprouts are fantastic as a side dish. They pair well with roasted meats, pasta, or grilled fish. For a finishing touch, sprinkle a little extra Parmesan on top before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave or stovetop.
