Ingredients

• 500 grams Brussels sprouts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 1 lemon
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts, removing any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Cut the Brussels sprouts in half lengthwise.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).

Step 4

Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the bowl. Mix everything thoroughly to ensure the Brussels sprouts are evenly coated.

Step 5

Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, cut side down for maximum caramelization.

Step 6

Roast the Brussels sprouts in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender.

Step 7

While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, zest the lemon and extract the juice. Set both aside.

Step 8

Once the Brussels sprouts are done, transfer them back to the mixing bowl. Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with lemon zest. Toss gently to combine.

Step 9

Serve immediately as a side dish. Enjoy!
