Ingredients
1 pound Brussels sprouts
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Optional: 2 cloves garlic (minced)
Optional: 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar or 2 tablespoons grated parmesan
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Trim the ends from the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow or damaged leaves. Cut large sprouts in half.
3. In a large bowl, toss Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper (plus garlic if using) until evenly coated.
4. Spread the sprouts on the baking sheet in a single layer, cut side down.
5. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy and golden brown.
6. Optional: Drizzle with balsamic vinegar or sprinkle with parmesan while hot.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
For maximum crispiness, be sure not to overcrowd the pan—spread the Brussels sprouts out in a single layer.
Roasting at high heat is key to caramelizing the edges and avoiding sogginess.
Add extra flavor with toppings like lemon zest, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of honey after roasting.
