Grilled Brussel Sprouts with Pesto Aioli

1: Start by preparing the Brussels sprouts. Trim the ends and cut them in half. Place the halved Brussels sprouts in a microwave-safe dish and microwave them for 2-5 minutes, or until they are slightly tender. Alternatively, you can steam them depending on their size.

2: Once the Brussels sprouts are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl. Drizzle olive oil over the sprouts and toss them gently to coat evenly. Sprinkle with garlic salt and lemon pepper to your taste preferences.

3: Preheat your grill to high heat. If you have a grill basket, place the Brussels sprouts in it. If not, you can use aluminum foil to create a makeshift basket or place the sprouts directly on the grill grates.

4: Grill the Brussels sprouts for about 10-15 minutes, or until they become nicely charred and slightly crispy, turning them occasionally to ensure even cooking.

5: While the Brussels sprouts are grilling, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, finely chopped basil, and lemon juice. Mix well until all the ingredients are incorporated.

6: Once the Brussels sprouts are grilled to your desired charred level, remove them from the grill and transfer them to a serving dish.

7: Drizzle the sauce over the grilled Brussels sprouts, ensuring they are evenly coated. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley as a garnish.
