Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Brussels sprouts
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 1 tsp Lemon zest
- 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Rinse the Brussels sprouts under cold water. Trim the stems and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Slice larger sprouts in half while leaving smaller ones whole for even cooking.
Place the Brussels sprouts in a large mixing bowl. Add olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss everything together until the sprouts are evenly coated.
Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not crowded. This helps them to crisp up nicely.
Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, tossing halfway through to ensure even browning. The sprouts should have golden-brown, crispy edges when done.
Remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven and immediately drizzle with honey and sprinkle with lemon zest. Toss gently to distribute the flavor evenly.
If desired, sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the warm Brussels sprouts for an extra burst of savory flavor.
Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy them as a healthy snack. Best served warm.
