Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 Lemon
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash the Brussels sprouts thoroughly, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 3
Trim the ends of each Brussels sprout and remove any discolored outer leaves. Cut the larger Brussels sprouts in half.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, toss the prepared Brussels sprouts with olive oil, sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, and garlic powder until they're evenly coated.
Step 5
Spread the Brussels sprouts out on a baking sheet in a single layer to ensure even roasting.
Step 6
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to promote even browning.
Step 7
Check for doneness by piercing a sprout with a fork; they should be tender and the outer leaves should be crispy and golden brown.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Step 9
Zest the lemon over the roasted Brussels sprouts for added freshness, then cut the lemon in half and squeeze a few drops of lemon juice over the sprouts.
Step 10
Serve warm, garnished with additional lemon wedges for those who enjoy an extra citrus boost.
