Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
Wash and dry the Brussels sprouts thoroughly. Trim the stems and remove any yellowed outer leaves. Cut each Brussels sprout in half lengthwise.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Toss everything together until the Brussels sprouts are evenly coated.
Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet, cut side down for optimum caramelization.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the outer leaves are crispy and the centers are tender. Stir the Brussels sprouts halfway through cooking for even roasting.
While the sprouts are roasting, zest half of the lemon and then cut it into wedges.
Once roasted, remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven and squeeze the lemon juice over them, then sprinkle with lemon zest.
Transfer the Brussels sprouts to a serving dish, season with additional salt and pepper to taste if necessary, and serve immediately.
