Ingredients
Scale
Brussels Sprouts
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, ends trimmed and cut in half
Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Topping
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400ºF (200ºC) to prepare for roasting the Brussels sprouts evenly and achieving a crispy texture.
- Prepare Brussels Sprouts Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to ensure every piece is well coated with the seasoning.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet with the cut side facing down to maximize browning and crispiness during roasting.
- Bake the Brussels Sprouts: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 25 minutes, making sure to toss the sprouts halfway through cooking for even coloring and texture. Look for golden brown edges as an indicator of doneness.
- Add Parmesan Cheese: Once roasted, remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven and immediately sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese while still hot, allowing the cheese to melt slightly over the warm sprouts.
Notes
- For extra crispy and browned Brussels sprouts, broil them for a few minutes at the end of roasting, watching carefully to avoid burning.
- Spread the Brussels sprouts out well on the pan to prevent steaming; overcrowding will reduce crispiness.
- Store leftover Brussels sprouts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days after cooling to room temperature.
- Reheat leftovers in the oven rather than the microwave to maintain their crisp texture.
