Heat a large skillet over medium high heat.
Add the water and Brussels sprouts to the hot skillet, and put on the lid. Steam for 6 minutes or until the water has evaporated.
1/2 cup water, 2 pounds fresh Brussels sprouts
Remove the lid, add the oil, salt, and pepper, and stir the Brussels sprouts until they're evenly coated.
1/3 cup avocado oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Sauté for about 4 minutes, until the outside is crispy, stirring only once or twice. Enjoy!

If you have a wide variety of Brussel sprout sizes, cut the medium ones in half, the extra-large ones in quarters, and leave the smallest ones whole. This will help them to cook evenly.
For even cooking, make sure to use a skillet large enough for all of the Brussels sprouts to be in one layer. If there's a little bit of space between the Brussels sprouts, that's even better!
