Ingredients

  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced (or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar or lemon juice, 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan, pinch of red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 °F (200 °C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toss Brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange sprouts cut-side down on the baking sheet for best caramelization.
  4. Roast for 20–25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until golden and tender.
  5. Optional: drizzle with balsamic or lemon juice, and sprinkle with Parmesan or red pepper flakes before serving.

Notes

  • Dry sprouts thoroughly before roasting for crispier texture.
  • Roast cut-side down for maximum browning.
  • Add nuts or cheese after roasting for extra flavor and crunch.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in oven or air fryer.
  • Fresh sprouts yield best results, but thawed and dried frozen ones can be used in a pinch.
