Easy Roasted Brussels Sprouts
First things first, let’s take a look at how beautiful these Brussels sprouts are. They can be a bit intimidating if you’ve never prepared them, but don’t worry, I’ve got your back!
Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need for this simple and tasty dish:
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: 1 teaspoon garlic powder or minced garlic for extra flavor
- Optional: Balsamic vinegar or freshly grated Parmesan cheese for drizzling or topping
Instructions
Now that we have our ingredients, let’s get to cooking!
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This is key for getting those sprouts nice and crispy.
- While the oven is heating up, rinse your Brussels sprouts under cold water and trim the ends. Cut any large sprouts in half; this helps them roast evenly.
- In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings you like. Make sure they are all well-coated.
- Spread the sprouts out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Don’t overcrowd them – give them some space to get that perfect roast.
- Roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, giving them a shake halfway through. You’re looking for a nice golden brown color!
- Optional: In the last few minutes of roasting, drizzle with balsamic vinegar or sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on top for an extra burst of flavor.
- Once they are done roasting, take them out and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. They’re best enjoyed hot!
And just like that, you’ve got yourself some mouthwatering roasted Brussels sprouts! Serve these at your next meal and watch how quickly they disappear. Enjoy!
