Ingredients
- 12 medium-large brussels sprouts, halved
- 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil

Directions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
- In a pot, bring water to a boil over high heat and blanch for 3 minutes. Drain and toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Heat an oven-safe pan over high heat until very hot and add the Brussels sprouts, searing for 3 minutes.
