Ingredients

• 1 lb Brussels sprouts
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tbsp Lemon zest
• 1 tbsp Freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Freshly cracked black pepper
• 0.5 tsp Kosher salt
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tbsp Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Rinse the Brussels sprouts under cold water, trim the ends, and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Cut each sprout in half lengthwise.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic powder, kosher salt, and freshly cracked black pepper until they are evenly coated.

Step 4

Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the cut sides are facing down for maximum caramelization.

Step 5

Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are golden brown and crispy on the edges, stirring once halfway through cooking.

Step 6

While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, combine the lemon zest and lemon juice in a small bowl and set aside.

Step 7

Once the Brussels sprouts are done roasting, transfer them back to the mixing bowl. Drizzle the lemon juice and zest mixture over the top and toss gently to combine.

Step 8

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the Brussels sprouts and toss again to coat evenly.

Step 9

Transfer to a serving platter, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
