Print Recipe

Gordon Ramsay’s Brussels Sprouts are pan-fried or roasted to create a crispy, golden texture, then tossed with garlic, pancetta, and balsamic vinegar for extra flavor. This recipe takes Brussels sprouts from bland to bold, crispy, and irresistible.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 oz pancetta or bacon, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
  • 1 tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Prepare the Brussels Sprouts:

  1. Trim and halve the sprouts – Remove any tough outer leaves and cut Brussels sprouts in half for even cooking.
  2. Blanch for extra tenderness (optional) – Boil for 2 minutes, then drain and pat dry.

Sauté the Brussels Sprouts:

  1. Heat oil and butter – In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter and olive oil.
  2. Crisp the pancetta – Add pancetta (or bacon) and cook for 2-3 minutes until crispy.
  3. Sear the Brussels sprouts – Place them cut-side down in the pan and cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes until caramelized.
  4. Toss and cook – Stir in garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, then cook for another 3 minutes.
  5. Finish with balsamic glaze – Drizzle with balsamic vinegar, toss, and cook for 1 more minute.

Serve Immediately:
