Oven-Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Garlic
Description
Oven-Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Garlic uses fresh Brussels sprouts cleaned and halved for even cooking. They are tossed in a mixture of freshly zested lemon, lemon juice, pressed garlic cloves, olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper to provide a fragrant and tangy coating.
Baking at 420°F for about 15 minutes encourages caramelization, developing golden-brown edges and tender interiors. This roasting enhances the natural sweetness and nuttiness of the Brussels sprouts while softening their texture. Following roasting, a sprinkling of feta cheese introduces a creamy, tangy element that contrasts with the roasted vegetable's crispness.
This dish serves well as a side for various meals, providing vibrancy and depth with minimal preparation. The combination of lemon and garlic brightens the savory profile, while feta completes it with salty richness.
