Preheat your oven to 200Β°C (400Β°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Rinse the Brussels sprouts under cold water and pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Trim the stems and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Slice the larger Brussels sprouts in half for even cooking; leave the smaller ones whole.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. This allows them to caramelize and roast evenly.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20 minutes, shaking or turning the sprouts halfway through to ensure even browning.
While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, heat a small dry skillet over medium heat. Add the pine nuts and toast them for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until they are golden brown and fragrant. Be careful not to burn them. Remove the skillet from heat and set the pine nuts aside.
Once the Brussels sprouts are crispy and golden, remove them from the oven. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the lemon juice, then toss to coat.
Transfer the roasted Brussels sprouts to a serving dish and sprinkle the toasted pine nuts on top. Serve immediately and enjoy!
