Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 whole Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the Brussels sprouts thoroughly and pat them dry. Trim the ends and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Slice each Brussels sprout in half lengthwise.
Place the halved Brussels sprouts in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.
Arrange the Brussels sprouts cut-side down in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet for maximum caramelization.
Roast the Brussels sprouts in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges, stirring halfway through cooking to promote even browning.
While the Brussels sprouts bake, zest the lemon and set aside the zest. Then squeeze the lemon to extract the juice, discarding any seeds.
Once the Brussels sprouts are done roasting, transfer them to a serving bowl. Immediately drizzle with the lemon juice and toss to combine.
Garnish with the reserved lemon zest and, if desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese for an extra layer of flavor.
Serve hot as a side dish with your favorite main course.
