Roasted Brussels Sprouts

I’ve come to love brussels sprouts. This wasn’t always the case though. They have a strong flavor and I had to learn to cook them to my liking. For me, the best way is to oven roast brussels sprouts with garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil.

I love the way they charr when properly roasted. At first, I wouldn’t let them roast for too long, just enough to be cooked through, but I finally realized brussels sprouts with olive oil and garlic need to get to that point of caramelization of the outer leaves that gives them the unique and delicious taste that I’ve come to love.

Lots of lemon juice for me and the final touch, freshly grated Parmesan cheese!

HOW TO ROAST BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH GARLIC

To ensure even roasting, choose brussels sprouts that are even in size, place them on the skillet or a casserole dish, in a single layer, and do not overcrowd the pan.

Make sure they have enough space in between them. If you overcrowd the skillet, they might steam instead of roast properly.

If your brussels sprouts are cooked through but not brown enough for your liking, turn on the broiler and broil them for 5-8 minutes or until they reach the desired level of browning.
