Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
Rinse the Brussels sprouts under cold water to remove any dirt. Trim off the stem ends and remove any yellow outer leaves.
Cut each Brussels sprout in half lengthwise for faster and more even roasting.
Place the halved Brussels sprouts into a large mixing bowl.
Lightly spray the Brussels sprouts with olive oil spray, making sure they are evenly coated without adding excess oil.
Sprinkle 0.5 teaspoons of salt, 0.25 teaspoons of black pepper, and 0.25 teaspoons of garlic powder over the Brussels sprouts. Toss them in the bowl to ensure even distribution of the seasonings.
Spread the seasoned Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the Brussels sprouts are golden brown and crispy on the edges. Stir halfway through for even cooking.
Once roasted, remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven and sprinkle 1 teaspoon of lemon zest over them for a fresh, zesty flavor.
Serve immediately as a deliciously crispy and healthy side dish.
