Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Brussels sprouts
- 1 can Extra virgin olive oil spray
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) to give your Brussels sprouts a crispy finish.
Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any bruised or yellowing outer leaves. Slice each sprout in half lengthwise for even cooking.
Place the Brussels sprouts in a large bowl. Lightly spray them with extra virgin olive oil spray, ensuring an even coating. Stir to distribute.
Season the sprouts with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and, if using, red pepper flakes. Toss until the Brussels sprouts are evenly coated with the spices.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the Brussels sprouts cut-side down in a single layer on the baking sheet to ensure even cooking and maximum crispiness.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for approximately 20 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Drizzle with fresh lemon juice just before serving to add brightness and enhance the flavors.
Serve hot as a low-fat side dish to complement your meal. Enjoy the perfect combination of crispiness and flavor!
