Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds Brussels sprouts

- 4 teaspoons garlic
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare Brussels sprouts by trimming and halving them.
- Melt butter in a skillet, add diced onion, and sauté until soft, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in garlic and red pepper flakes for an additional minute.

Fresh Brussels sprouts provide the best flavor and texture; avoid overcooking in the sauté step.
Mix different cheeses for unique flavors; consider plant-based alternatives for dairy-free options.
