Set the Brussels sprouts aside in a serving bowl.
Thinly slice the garlic.
Add one tablespoon of olive oil to the same pan on high. Add your halved cherry tomatoes and thinly sliced garlic. Grill the garlic for 3 to 4 minutes, or until it is crispy and brown.

- 3 large garlic cloves thinly sliced
- 2½ cups brussels sprouts halved (10 cups)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions
- Cut the cherry tomatoes in half. Slice the garlic cloves into thin slices (like chips). Set aside.

- In the same pan, add one tablespoon of olive oil and raise the heat on high. Add your garlic on one side of the pan, and your cherry tomatoes on the other. Grill for 3-4 minutes or until the garlic is crispy and golden.
