Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Optional: red pepper flakes for a bit of heat
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Prepare Brussels Sprouts: In a large mixing bowl, combine the trimmed and halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Toss everything together until the Brussels sprouts are evenly coated with the mixture.
- Arrange for Roasting: Spread the coated Brussels sprouts out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. This allows for even roasting and crispiness.
- Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the Brussels sprouts for 25-30 minutes. Stir them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting and crispiness.
- Add Finishing Touches: Once the Brussels sprouts are tender inside and crispy on the outside, remove them from the oven. Immediately sprinkle the roasted Brussels sprouts with grated Parmesan cheese and lemon zest, allowing the residual heat to melt the cheese slightly.
- Serve: Serve the Brussels sprouts hot. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a little extra heat. Enjoy as a tasty side dish or snack.
Notes
- Brussels sprouts can be prepped a day ahead and stored in the fridge to save time.
- Experiment with adding different herbs or chili flakes for a unique twist to the flavor.
- For an extra crispy finish, consider adding a light sprinkle of breadcrumbs before roasting.
- Brussels sprouts are high in vitamin K and offer a nutritious addition to any meal.
