Ingredients
Scale
Brussels Sprouts
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, ends trimmed and cut in half
Seasoning & Others
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400ºF (200ºC) to prepare for roasting the Brussels sprouts.
- Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything well to coat evenly.
- Arrange on baking sheet: Spread the coated Brussels sprouts in an even layer on a baking sheet, placing them cut-side-down for optimal caramelization.

- Add Parmesan and serve: When golden brown on the edges and tender, remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
Notes
- This recipe uses fresh lemon juice and garlic to enhance the natural flavor of Brussels sprouts.
- Make sure to spread the sprouts evenly on the baking sheet for proper roasting and crispiness.
- Tossing halfway through baking helps achieve even browning and prevents burning.
- Parmesan cheese adds a rich, savory finish but can be omitted for a dairy-free version.
