Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar or glaze (optional)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
1. Trim the ends and remove any outer leaves from the Brussels sprouts. Halve large ones for even cooking. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
2. Toss the sprouts with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and optional garlic in a large bowl.
3. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
4. Spread sprouts on the sheet, cut side down, in a single layer.
5. Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.
6. Optionally drizzle with balsamic vinegar or sprinkle with Parmesan immediately after roasting.
7. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
For crispier sprouts, make sure they’re completely dry before roasting.
Don’t overcrowd the pan—use two pans if needed to ensure even roasting.
For added flavor, try lemon juice, red pepper flakes, or chopped nuts as toppings.
