Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Rinse the Brussels sprouts under cool water, then trim off the stem ends and remove any outer leaves that appear wilted or damaged.
Cut the Brussels sprouts in half lengthwise. If they are very large, quarter them for more even cooking.
Place the halved Brussels sprouts in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle them with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Toss the Brussels sprouts until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning.
Spread the Brussels sprouts out onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they have space to roast instead of steam.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring or flipping the Brussels sprouts halfway through to ensure even browning.
Check for doneness: the Brussels sprouts should be golden-brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven, and if desired, sprinkle the Brussels sprouts with freshly grated Parmesan cheese while they are still warm.
Serve immediately as a side dish and enjoy!
