Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
Rinse and dry the Brussels sprouts. Trim the ends and any discolored outer leaves, then cut them in half.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts with extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the sprouts are evenly coated.
Step 4
Spread the seasoned Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they aren't crowded to ensure crispiness.
Step 5
Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are golden brown and crispy on the edges. Stir or shake the pan halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
Step 6
Remove from the oven and transfer the Brussels sprouts to a serving bowl.
Step 7
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and chopped nuts if using, then serve warm. Enjoy as a side dish or a healthy snack!
