Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
Trim the base of each Brussels sprout, remove any yellowing outer leaves, and cut them in half vertically.
In a large bowl, combine the Brussels sprouts with extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, fresh thyme leaves, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Toss the mixture to ensure the sprouts are evenly coated in seasoning.
Spread the 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 they are golden brown and tender, stirring halfway through to promote even cooking.
Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish.
For an extra Mediterranean touch, optionally garnish with a sprinkle of additional lemon zest or freshly chopped parsley.
Serve hot as a delicious side dish.
