Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 50 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Red chili flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse the Brussels sprouts under cold water, trim the stem ends, and remove any outer leaves that are yellow or damaged. Cut larger sprouts in half to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Brussels sprouts, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, black pepper, and optional red chili flakes. Toss well to coat the sprouts evenly.
Cut four large pieces of aluminum foil (about 12x12 inches each). Divide the Brussels sprouts mixture evenly among the foil sheets, placing them in the center.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top of each portion.
Fold up each piece of foil into a secure packet by bringing the edges together and crimping them tightly to seal. Make sure there is some space inside for steam to circulate.
Place the packets on a baking sheet and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are tender and slightly caramelized.
Remove the packets from the oven and carefully open them (watch out for hot steam). Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.
