Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts (washed, trimmed, and cut into halves)
- 1-2 Tablespoons olive or avocado oil
- ½ teaspoon sea salt (or kosher salt)
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
- Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: Rinse the Brussels sprouts thoroughly. Trim off the ends and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Cut each Brussels sprout in half lengthwise to ensure even roasting.
- Toss with Seasoning: Place the halved Brussels sprouts in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive or avocado oil, sprinkle with ½ teaspoon sea salt and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper. Toss everything together until the Brussels sprouts are evenly coated.
- Roast the Brussels Sprouts: Spread the coated sprouts evenly on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Roast them in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, turning or flipping halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning. Roast until they are tender inside and golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Optionally, you can add a squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of parmesan cheese for extra flavor before serving.
Notes
- You can adjust the roasting time depending on how crispy you like your Brussels sprouts.
- For extra flavor, add minced garlic or a dash of smoked paprika when tossing with oil and seasoning.
- Leftovers keep well in the fridge and can be reheated in a skillet for added crispiness.
