Ingredients
Units Scale
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional seasonings: garlic powder, grated Parmesan cheese, balsamic vinegar, or lemon zest (customize to your taste)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Prepare the Brussels sprouts:
- Trim the stem ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any loose or discolored leaves.
- Cut the Brussels sprouts in half lengthwise.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with the olive oil until they are well coated. You can also add your preferred seasonings at this point.
- Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure they are not too crowded, as this will help them roast evenly.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. You can always add more seasonings after they come out of the oven, so start with a conservative amount.
- Roast the Brussels sprouts in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and caramelized. Check them after 15 minutes and give them a stir for even cooking.
- If you’re adding additional seasonings, like Parmesan cheese or balsamic vinegar, you can do so as soon as the Brussels sprouts come out of the oven while they are still hot.
- Serve the roasted Brussels sprouts immediately as a side dish. Enjoy!
