Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tbsp Lemon zest
- 1 tbsp Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Freshly cracked black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Kosher salt
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Rinse the Brussels sprouts under cold water, trim the ends, and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Cut each sprout in half lengthwise.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic powder, kosher salt, and freshly cracked black pepper until they are evenly coated.
Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the cut sides are facing down for maximum caramelization.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are golden brown and crispy on the edges, stirring once halfway through cooking.
While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, combine the lemon zest and lemon juice in a small bowl and set aside.
Once the Brussels sprouts are done roasting, transfer them back to the mixing bowl. Drizzle the lemon juice and zest mixture over the top and toss gently to combine.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the Brussels sprouts and toss again to coat evenly.
Transfer to a serving platter, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
