Ingredients
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- ½ tsp Salt
- ¼ tsp Black pepper
- 2 cloves Garlic
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and even roasting.
- Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow or damaged leaves. Slice them in half lengthwise for uniform cooking.
- In a mixing bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with 2 tbsp olive oil, ½ tsp salt, ¼ tsp black pepper, and minced garlic. Ensure each piece is coated evenly.
- Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet with cut sides facing down. Avoid overcrowding to allow proper caramelization.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through. The sprouts should have golden, crisp edges while remaining tender inside.
- After roasting, drizzle with balsamic vinegar or sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired. Toss gently and serve warm.
Notes
