Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your grill to medium-high.
- Trim the stems of the Brussels sprouts and halve them lengthwise. If they are larger, quarter them for even grilling.
- In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, chopped herbs, salt, and pepper.
- Add the halved Brussels sprouts to the bowl and toss them until they are well coated in the marinade.
- Thread the marinated Brussels sprouts onto skewers. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes prior to prevent burning.
Grilling
- Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until they are golden brown and tender.
- Remove the skewers from the grill and garnish with additional herbs or a squeeze of lemon for freshness.
Notes
Keep an eye on the Brussels sprouts while grilling to prevent burning. You can marinate the sprouts a few hours before grilling and refrigerate until ready to cook.
