Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken gizzards
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 whole lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Rinse the chicken gizzards under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, finely chopped fresh rosemary, finely chopped fresh thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Add the chicken gizzards to the bowl and toss them to ensure they are thoroughly coated with the herb and spice mixture.
Slice the lemon in half and squeeze the juice over the gizzards, resting the squeezed lemon halves in the bowl for added flavor while baking.
Transfer the gizzards to a baking dish in a single layer, making sure to place the lemon halves in the dish as well.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the gizzards are tender and lightly browned.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly. Discard the lemon halves.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the baked gizzards before serving.
Serve the gizzards warm, accompanied by a keto-friendly side or a salad.
