Ingredients
  

For the Sprouts
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts Fresh sprouts are key for optimal texture; choose firm, bright green varieties.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil High-quality oil enhances browning and flavor; consider extra virgin for a richer taste.
  • 3 cloves Garlic cloves Minced fresh garlic gives a deeper flavor; add some midway for sweeter notes.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Use kosher salt for balanced seasoning, elevating all flavors.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper Adjust to your taste for a hint of mild heat.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Red pepper flakes Optional; a pinch adds a little heat, but feel free to leave it out for a milder dish.
For the Finish
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese Freshly grated cheese maximizes umami and crispiness; avoid pre-packaged for best results.
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice Optional; a splash adds brightness just before serving.

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking sheet
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) for at least 15–20 minutes to achieve crispy texture.
  2. Trim the ends of the fresh Brussels sprouts, remove any yellow leaves, and cut each sprout in half.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Toss until well coated.
  4. Spread Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet, cut side down, avoiding overcrowding.
  5. Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning, until golden-brown and crispy.
  6. Remove from oven, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, gently toss, and add a splash of lemon juice before serving.
