Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Description
This recipe uses about a pound of trimmed Brussels sprouts sliced in half to increase surface area for roasting. Tossed with extra-virgin olive oil and seasoned with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, the sprouts are spread in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roasting at 425°F for 20 to 30 minutes brings out natural sweetness and creates golden, crispy edges while keeping the centers moist.
If desired, the finished sprouts can be tossed with a fresh lemon Parmesan seasoning that includes lemon juice and zest, grated or shaved Parmesan, and fresh thyme leaves. Garnishing with parsley and a pinch of red pepper flakes adds a vibrant contrast and a hint of heat, rounding out the flavors.
This side dish pairs well with roasted or grilled meats and can be served warm as part of a balanced meal. The roasting method enhances the natural flavors while the optional toppings add brightness and seasoning complexity.
