Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 medium Lemon
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Wash and dry the Brussels sprouts. Trim the ends, remove any damaged outer leaves, and cut larger sprouts in half to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the sprouts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper to coat evenly.
Peel and finely mince the garlic. Add it to the bowl with the sprouts, mixing to distribute the garlic evenly.
Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded for even roasting.
Roast the sprouts in the oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside.
While the sprouts are roasting, zest the lemon using a fine grater, and then juice it.
Once the sprouts are done, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a serving bowl. Immediately drizzle the lemon juice over the sprouts and sprinkle with the lemon zest.
If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top for an added layer of flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy your zesty Lemon Sprouts!
