  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 3 to 4

Ingredients

Brussels Sprouts

  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed
  • Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Seasoning & Garnish

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese or ¼ cup shaved Parmesan
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • Fresh parsley leaves, for garnish
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: Slice the trimmed Brussels sprouts in half, then place them in a bowl. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss everything together to ensure even coating.
  3. Roast the Brussels Sprouts: Spread the prepared Brussels sprouts evenly on the lined baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes, or until tender and golden brown around the edges. The exact time will depend on the size of your sprouts.
  4. Add Lemon and Parmesan Seasoning: If desired, transfer the roasted Brussels sprouts back to a bowl and toss them with fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, grated or shaved Parmesan cheese, and fresh thyme leaves to add bright and savory flavors.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Finish by garnishing with fresh parsley leaves and a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle heat. Serve warm as a flavorful side dish.

Notes

  • For easier clean-up, use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat on your baking sheet.
  • Adjust roasting time depending on the size of Brussels sprouts; smaller sprouts roast faster.
  • Parmesan adds a savory, nutty flavor, but you can omit for a dairy-free option.
  • Red pepper flakes can be omitted or adjusted based on preferred spice level.
  • To enhance crispiness, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to allow proper roasting.
