Ingredients

• 500 grams Brussels sprouts
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
• 2 tablespoons Toasted sliced almonds
• 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Rinse the Brussels sprouts under cold water, then trim the ends and cut each sprout in half lengthwise.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Roast the sprouts in the oven for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through for even cooking.

Step 6

While the sprouts are roasting, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 7

Remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven and transfer them back to the mixing bowl. Toss with the sautéed garlic and balsamic glaze.

Step 8

Serve the Brussels sprouts on a platter, sprinkled with toasted sliced almonds, grated Parmesan, and fresh parsley for garnish.
