Ingredients

1 lb Brussels sprouts (trimmed and halved)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional for extra richness)

Alternatives:

Dairy-Free: Use nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan cheese.
Gluten-Free: This recipe is naturally gluten-free!

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Prepare Brussels Sprouts: Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and slice them in half. Remove any outer leaves that are damaged.
Season: In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Roast: Spread the Brussels sprouts out in a single layer on the baking sheet, cut-side down. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy around the edges.

Finish: Remove from the oven, and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and lemon zest, if desired. Serve hot!

Notes

Crispy Texture: For extra crispiness, flip the Brussels sprouts halfway through roasting.

For Extra Flavor: Drizzle with balsamic glaze or add a dash of red pepper flakes before serving.
