Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 50 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and trim the Brussels sprouts by removing any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Cut each sprout in half lengthwise.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, cut side down for maximum caramelization.
Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the sprouts are tender and lightly browned with crispy edges.
Remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven and let them cool slightly. Transfer them back to the mixing bowl.
Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and Parmesan cheese to the roasted Brussels sprouts. Toss gently to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve warm as a delicious side dish or enjoy them on their own!
