Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts, sea salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Toss to coat.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Pour the garlic butter over the Brussels sprouts and toss until they are evenly coated.
- Spread the coated Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Once roasted, remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and fresh lemon juice, then toss again to combine.
- Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
Notes
- For best results, select firm, bright green Brussels sprouts with tightly packed leaves.
- Ensure Brussels sprouts are in a single layer on the baking sheet for even roasting and crispiness.
- Adjust seasonings to your preference.
