Description

This easy and delicious recipe for roasted Brussels sprouts delivers tender, golden-brown veggies with a bright finish of lemon, Parmesan, and fresh herbs. Perfect as a flavorful holiday side dish or a simple weeknight vegetable, these roasted Brussels sprouts are seasoned with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and finished with fresh lemon juice, zest, Parmesan cheese, thyme, parsley, and a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle kick.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

Seasonings & Garnishes

  • Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • Fresh parsley leaves, for garnish
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and simplify cleanup.
  2. Prepare the Brussels sprouts. Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and slice them in half lengthwise to ensure even cooking and browning.
  3. Toss with olive oil and seasonings. Place the halved Brussels sprouts in a bowl, drizzle generously with extra-virgin olive oil, and sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss to coat each sprout evenly.
  4. Arrange on baking sheet. Spread the Brussels sprouts out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded for optimal roasting and caramelization.
  5. Roast the Brussels sprouts. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20 to 30 minutes, giving them a stir or shake halfway through to promote even browning. Roast until the sprouts are tender and golden brown around the edges.
  6. Toss with lemon, Parmesan, and herbs. Once roasted, transfer the Brussels sprouts to a large bowl. Add the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, grated Parmesan cheese, and fresh thyme leaves. Toss gently to combine flavors.
  7. Garnish and serve. Transfer the dressed Brussels sprouts to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh parsley leaves and a pinch of red pepper flakes to add color and a subtle spicy note. Serve warm as a delicious side dish.
