Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
Rinse the Brussels sprouts under cold water. Trim the stem ends, remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves, and cut the sprouts in half lengthwise.
In a large bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the sprouts are evenly coated.
Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 18-20 minutes, turning the sprouts once halfway through, until they are golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges.
Remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven and drizzle them with honey and lemon juice while theyβre still hot. Toss gently to evenly distribute the flavors.
If desired, sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a pinch of red chili flakes over the top for added flavor.
Serve immediately as a side dish and enjoy your Bodacious Brussels!
