Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Brussels sprouts are a nutrient powerhouse and are known for their unique flavor. When roasted, they develop a delightful crispness and a sweet, caramelized texture that’s simply irresistible.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get the perfect roasting conditions.
- In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until they’re all evenly coated. Make sure the garlic is well distributed to enhance the flavor.
- Spread the Brussels sprouts out in a single layer on a baking sheet. This allows them to roast evenly and caramelize beautifully.
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Halfway through, give them a good stir to ensure even cooking.
- If you’re using balsamic vinegar, drizzle it over the sprouts in the last 5 minutes of roasting for an extra zing.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
These Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Garlic are perfect as a side dish for any meal or even as a healthy snack. Their savory flavor combined with a bit of crispy texture makes them a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. Enjoy your delicious creation and watch them disappear from the table!
