Ingredients

Yield: 4 servings

Main

  • 1.5 lbs Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (optional, for brightness)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Step 2

    In a large bowl, combine the trimmed and halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure the sprouts are evenly coated.

  3. Step 3

    Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded, otherwise they will steam instead of crisp.

  4. Step 4

    Roast for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, toss, and sprinkle with the grated Parmesan cheese. Return to the oven and roast for another 5-10 minutes, or until the sprouts are tender-crisp and the edges are nicely browned and crispy.

  5. Step 5

    Remove from oven, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top (if using) for a burst of brightness, and serve immediately.

Tips

  • For extra crispy leaves, gently peel off any loose outer leaves and roast them separately for the last 5-7 minutes.
  • A drizzle of balsamic glaze or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes after roasting also adds a nice touch.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan! If you have too many sprouts, use two baking sheets to ensure maximum crispiness.
