Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Brussels sprouts
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 Lemon
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Cut each sprout in half lengthwise.
In a large bowl, combine the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat the sprouts evenly.
Arrange the Brussels sprouts cut side down on a baking sheet in a single layer. This helps them caramelize on the cut side.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the sprouts are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Shake the pan halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.
While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, zest the lemon using a fine grater, and then cut the lemon in half to juice it.
Remove the sprouts from the oven and immediately drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with lemon zest.
Transfer the roasted sprouts to a serving dish and sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your deliciously roasted Brussels sprouts!
