Keto Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Description
Keto Roasted Brussels Sprouts starts with trimming and halving fresh Brussels sprouts, then tossing them with extra virgin olive oil, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest. They're spread in a single layer on a baking sheet to promote even roasting and crispy texture. After 10 minutes, grated Parmesan cheese and pine nuts are added for an additional 8 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and pine nuts to toast while the sprouts become crisp on the outside and tender inside.
The result combines the earthiness of Brussels sprouts with the richness of Parmesan and the crunch of pine nuts, all balanced by the citrus brightness from lemon zest. Roasting at a relatively high temperature encourages caramelization for enhanced flavor and texture contrast.
The recipe makes four servings and suggests variations such as substituting pine nuts with other nuts like pistachios or pecans, or adding garlic powder to the seasoning for additional flavor. Ensuring sprouts are spread without overlapping prevents steaming and promotes even roasting.
Ingredients
- 1 lb / 500g Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved
- 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- lemon zest of 1
- 3 tablespoon Parmesan Cheese 15g, grated
- 2 tablespoon pine nuts

- ¼ teaspoon black pepper or to taste, cracked
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 210ºC / 410F electric or 190C / 375F fan.
- Trim and halve the sprouts, removing any bruised leaves. Toss with the olive oil, salt, pepper and lemon zest, then spread out in a single layer on a parchment paper lined baking tray.
- Roast for 10 minutes until slightly crisp, then add the parmesan and pine nuts.
- Roast for a further 8 minutes until the sprouts are crisp on the outside and tender in the middle, the cheese has melted and the pine nuts are golden.
Notes
- The recipe yields approximately 4 servings with about 8g net carbs per serving.
- Alternate nuts like pistachios or pecans can be used instead of pine nuts for varied flavor and texture.
- Adding ½ teaspoon garlic powder to the seasoning mixture provides extra savory flavor.
- Make sure Brussels sprouts are spread in a single layer without touching to achieve optimal crispness.
