Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Optional Toppings
- Balsamic glaze
- Grated Parmesan cheese
- Crispy bacon bits
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it lightly to prevent sticking.
- Toss Brussels Sprouts: In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until all pieces are evenly coated with the seasoning and oil.
- Arrange for Roasting: Spread the Brussels sprouts out in a single layer on the baking sheet, placing them cut side down to maximize browning and crispiness during roasting.
- Roast: Roast in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping the sprouts once halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning and crisp edges.
- Serve: Remove from the oven when golden brown and crispy on the edges. Serve immediately, optionally drizzled with balsamic glaze, sprinkled with grated Parmesan, or topped with crispy bacon bits for enhanced flavor.
Notes
- Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to ensure the Brussels sprouts get crispy instead of steaming.
- For a fresh, tangy finish, try adding a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
- Can be customized with toppings like balsamic glaze, Parmesan, or bacon bits depending on dietary preferences.
