Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoons Red pepper flakes
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half lengthwise.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning until evenly coated.
Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 15 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through to ensure even cooking.
While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Mince the garlic cloves and sauté them in the skillet until fragrant and slightly golden, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and start to burst.
Toss the roasted Brussels sprouts into the skillet with the garlic and tomatoes. Stir well to combine.
Turn off the heat and mix in the Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, and lemon juice.
Transfer the dish to a serving platter and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
Serve warm and enjoy your Italian Brussels Sprouts!
