Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 2
Trim the stems of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Cut each sprout in half lengthwise.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, minced garlic, fresh thyme leaves, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.
Step 4
Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer, cut side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not overcrowded for maximum crispiness.
Step 5
Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove and drizzle the balsamic vinegar evenly over the sprouts.
Step 6
Use a spatula to flip the sprouts and return the baking sheet to the oven. Roast for an additional 5 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and caramelized.
Step 7
Remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven and optionally sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top while they are still hot.
Step 8
Serve immediately as a side dish to complement your favorite main course. Enjoy!
