How to Make Alton Brown's Brussels Sprouts With Pecans And Cranberries

  1. Using the thinnest slicing disk on a food processor, thinly slice the trimmed Brussels sprouts. Alternatively, use a mandoline or very sharp knife for even, thin slices.
  2. In a 10-inch straight-sided sauté pan, set over medium-high heat, toast the pecan halves, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly browned (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Add the butter to the pan and stir to melt completely.
  4. Add the sliced Brussels sprouts, salt, and pepper to the pan. Stir to coat evenly with the butter.
  5. Cook, stirring frequently, until the Brussels sprouts are tender-crisp and have browned slightly (about 6-8 minutes).
  6. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the dried cranberries.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy your perfectly crispy and flavorful Brussels sprouts!
