Ingredients
Scale
Brussels Sprouts
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Lemon Parmesan Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese, or ¼ cup shaved
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- Fresh parsley leaves, for garnish
- Pinch red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Prepare Brussels Sprouts: Slice the trimmed Brussels sprouts in half. Toss them with a generous drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil, and season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Roast the Brussels Sprouts: Spread the seasoned sprouts evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes, until tender and golden brown around the edges. The roasting time may vary depending on the size of your sprouts.
- Toss with Lemon Parmesan Seasoning: Once roasted, transfer the Brussels sprouts to a bowl and toss them with fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, grated Parmesan cheese, and fresh thyme leaves to enhance their flavor.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley leaves and a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick. Serve warm as a delightful side dish.
Notes
- You can shave Parmesan cheese if you prefer a more delicate texture instead of grated.
- Adjust roasting time depending on the size and freshness of your Brussels sprouts.
- Add a little more lemon juice or zest for extra brightness if desired.
- For a milder dish, omit the red pepper flakes.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated.
