Ingredients

  • 1 lb. Whole Brussels Sprouts
  • 2 tbsp. Olive Oil
  • 1 Lemon halved
  • 1 tsp. Sea Salt
  • 1 tsp. Cracked Black Pepper
  • 1/4 cup Freshly Grated Parmesan

Instructions

  • Preheat your grill to medium heat (set for direct heat), about 400 F. If you use a grill basket, place your basket over the heat to pre-heat as well.
  • Take your brussels sprouts and trim the stems and then slice in half.
  • Skewers are my favorite method, but you can grill in a basket or in foil as well (see the post above for more details). Skewers work best for a medium-larger sized sprout.
  • Place the sprout sideways onto a cutting board and pierce the skewer through it (in the middle) then pull it towards you so that it hits the end of the skewer. Repeat this process until you fill it.
  • Place the filled skewers onto a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil and season with the salt and pepper. Halve your lemon and set it aside.
  • If grilling in a foil packet, take your seasoned and oiled sprouts and place them flat across a large piece of foil. Wrap the sides in first, then connect the top and bottom and roll the foil down to seal.
  • Grilling: All methods will grill fairly quickly over direct heat. Make sure the grates are clean and place them over the direct heat, halve side down first. Add the lemon halves over direct heat to caramelize as well.
  • Skewers will need to be moved every minute or so, close the lid as needed between flips. and DO NOT walk away. Turn them and cook for roughly 4-6 minutes. If they get too much char but need more time to cook, set them over to the cooler side of the grill (indirect heat) to finish off.
  • Foil Packet/ Grill Basket: Place the foil or the basket over direct heat. Let the brussels cook 2-3 minutes and flip or turn them until both sides begin to get a little char. The foil packet will also steam a bit as well, so be careful when opening the packet. Roughly 4-6 minutes of cooking time is needed.
  • Remove everything from the grill, drizzle with the charred lemon juice and grate a generous amount of fresh parmesan over the top and serve.
