Learn how to make perfectly crispy and tender roasted Brussels sprouts with a simple lemon, balsamic, and Parmesan finish. This versatile side dish is perfect for weeknights or holiday meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds Brussels sprouts
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash the Brussels sprouts and trim off any tough ends. Cut them in half lengthwise. For larger sprouts, you can quarter them.
  3. Pat the Brussels sprouts completely dry with paper towels. This is a key step to ensure crispiness.
  4. In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, pepper, and minced garlic until evenly coated.
  5. Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded, as this can lead to steaming instead of roasting.
  6. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are tender on the inside and nicely caramelized and crispy on the outside.
  7. Remove from the oven and drizzle with balsamic glaze. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and lemon zest.
  8. Toss gently to combine and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra crispy sprouts, you can increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) and reduce the roasting time slightly.
  • Ensure your Brussels sprouts are very dry before roasting to prevent sogginess.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of garlic, balsamic glaze, Parmesan, and lemon zest to your preference.
  • These sprouts are a great addition to any meal, similar to how meal planning services help organize your week.
