Learn how to make Golden Garlic Butter Roasted Brussels Sprouts. This simple recipe creates a gourmet side dish that is rich, fresh, and complements any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- Fresh lemon juice for drizzling
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika (if using). Toss until the sprouts are evenly coated.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it brown.
- Pour the garlic butter over the Brussels sprouts and toss to coat well.
- Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure they are not overcrowded for even roasting.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the Brussels sprouts are golden brown and tender.
- If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the sprouts during the last 5 minutes of roasting.
- Remove from the oven and drizzle with fresh lemon juice. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- For crispy Brussels sprouts, ensure they are in a single layer on the baking sheet and not overcrowded.
- Adjust roasting time based on your oven and desired tenderness.
- Smoked paprika adds a subtle smoky flavor, and Parmesan cheese provides a savory finish.
- Fresh lemon juice brightens the flavors, and parsley adds a fresh garnish.
