1. Prepare the Brussels Sprouts and Kale:
Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half. Remove any tough stems from the kale leaves and chop them into bite-sized pieces.
2. Sauté the Onions and Garlic:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onions are translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Cook the Brussels Sprouts:
Add the halved Brussels sprouts to the skillet with the onions and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the Brussels sprouts are tender and slightly caramelized, about 8-10 minutes.
4. Add the Kale:
Once the Brussels sprouts are tender, add the chopped kale to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until the kale is wilted and bright green, about 3-4 minutes.
5. Season to Taste:
Season the Brussels sprouts and kale sauté with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences.
6. Serve:
Transfer the Brussels sprouts and kale sauté to a serving dish. Optionally, sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese on top before serving for an extra burst of flavor.
