Instructions
1-How to Prepare the Perfect Roasted Brussels Sprouts: Creating crispy and flavorful roasted Brussels sprouts starts with simple steps that anyone can master, from beginners to seasoned food enthusiasts. Preheat your oven to 425ยฐF (220ยฐC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even browning. Trim and halve the Brussels sprouts, discarding any dry stems and ensuring all pieces are similar in size for uniform cooking.
2-Next: toss the sprouts with olive oil, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper in a bowl to coat them evenly. Arrange the sprouts cut side down on the prepared baking sheet for that desirable crispy edge. Roast them in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes until they are tender and golden brown along the edges, stirring halfway through for optimal results.
3-Adding the Optional Seasoning: For an extra flavor boost, prepare the lemon Parmesan seasoning by mixing 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 teaspoons lemon zest, 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese (or 1/4 cup shaved Parmesan), and 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves in a small bowl. Once the sprouts are done roasting, toss them with this mixture and garnish with parsley and a pinch of red pepper flakes if you like a bit of heat.
