Preparations:

• In a large pan, heat 1 tbsp olive oil briefly over medium heat. Add garlic and toss for 30 seconds. Remove garlic to a side plate for now.
• Add remaining extra virgin olive oil, and if needed raise heat to medium-high, till oil is shimmering but not smoking. Add brussels sprouts flat-side down first. Cook and do not stir or turn over until bottoms crisp up, turning a nice golden brown or even charred (do this to your liking). Turn over on the other side and cook another 5 to 6 minutes until crisp.
• Toss in the cooked garlic. And add sprinkle of salt and pepper.
• Transfer to a serving dish. Finish with grated Parmesan and serve immediately.
