Ingredients

• 450 grams Brussels sprouts
• 1 can Extra virgin olive oil spray
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) to give your Brussels sprouts a crispy finish.

Step 2

Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any bruised or yellowing outer leaves. Slice each sprout in half lengthwise for even cooking.

Step 3

Place the Brussels sprouts in a large bowl. Lightly spray them with extra virgin olive oil spray, ensuring an even coating. Stir to distribute.

Step 4

Season the sprouts with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and, if using, red pepper flakes. Toss until the Brussels sprouts are evenly coated with the spices.

Step 5

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the Brussels sprouts cut-side down in a single layer on the baking sheet to ensure even cooking and maximum crispiness.

Step 6

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for approximately 20 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are golden brown and crispy on the edges.

Step 7

Remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Drizzle with fresh lemon juice just before serving to add brightness and enhance the flavors.

Step 8

Serve hot as a low-fat side dish to complement your meal. Enjoy the perfect combination of crispiness and flavor!
