Tips:

Choose small, firm Brussels sprouts: Smaller sprouts are more tender and cook evenly. Look for sprouts that are bright green and free of blemishes.
Trim the Brussels sprouts: Cut off the stem end and any wilted or discolored leaves.
Slice the Brussels sprouts in half: This will help them cook more evenly.
Use a large skillet: A large skillet will allow the Brussels sprouts to cook in a single layer, which will help them brown evenly.
Heat the oil over medium-high heat: This will help the Brussels sprouts brown quickly and evenly.
Add the Brussels sprouts to the skillet: Cook them, stirring occasionally, until they are browned and tender.
Season the Brussels sprouts: Add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings.
Serve the Brussels sprouts immediately: They are best enjoyed hot and crispy.
