Garlic Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Just take a look at this beauty! Don’t you just want to reach through the screen and grab one? Well, that’s the magic talking – it’s hard to resist. They look tender and tasty, and trust me, they are!
### Ingredients:
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (optional for zing)
- Parmesan cheese, for garnish (optional – but let’s be honest, cheese makes everything better)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This is where the magic begins – basically, we’re going to roast those sprouts until they’re crispy and caramelized.
- In a mixing bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Make sure every sprout is coated evenly, like they’re getting a spa treatment!
- Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet. Give them some space – they like to stretch out and get nice and crispy.
- Roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through. You want them golden brown and tender. Your kitchen will smell amazing, and you might just find yourself hanging around the oven – it’s totally normal.
- If you’re feeling adventurous (and you should be), drizzle some balsamic vinegar over the sprouts just before they finish roasting. It gives them a pop of flavor that’s simply irresistible!
- Once they’re done, remove them from the oven, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, and serve them hot. Watch as they disappear faster than you can say “Brussels sprouts”! Everyone will be begging for more.
And there you have it – the ultimate guide to garlic roasted Brussels sprouts. Not only are they delicious, but they also turn you into a veggie superhero! Share them at gatherings, or keep them all to yourself – I won’t judge. Happy cooking!
