Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 30 grams Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Trim the ends of each Brussels sprout and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Slice the sprouts in half lengthwise.
Place the halved sprouts in a mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and, if desired, red pepper flakes. Toss well to evenly coat the sprouts.
Arrange the Brussels sprouts cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Ensure there is space between each piece for optimal caramelization.
Roast in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the sprouts are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese and lemon zest over the hot sprouts. Toss gently to distribute the flavors.
Transfer the Brussels sprouts to a serving dish and serve hot. Enjoy!
