Roasted Brussel Sprouts
Savory, crisp and nutritious, roasted brussel sprouts make a delicious addition to your meals. Perfectly roasted brussel sprouts are crispy on the outside and tender smooth on the inside.
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh brussel sprouts
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tsp salt I used Pink Himalayan, but any salt will do.
- 1 tsp pepper, fresh cracked
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
-
Wash brussel sprouts. Trim off the tough stems ends. Slice brussel sprouts in half lengthwise, from top to bottom. Extra leaves that fall off of the heads can be roasted along with the the intact halves. Add everything to a mixing bowl.
-
To the sliced brusssel sprouts and single leaves, add the olive oil and salt and pepper. Mix to coat everything.
-
Evenly distribute everything onto a baking sheet, making sure that the brussel sprouts and leaves are not stacked onto each other.
-
Roast for approximately 15 to 25 minutes to reach your desired level of doneness. The brussel sprouts in the photo accompanying this recipe were roasted for 20 minutes.
-
As soon as the brussel sprouts come out of the oven, drizzle with juice from half of a lemon.
Recipe Notes
Brussel Sprouts and bacon are a match made in heaven. Add crispy crumbed bacon to the top of the brussel sprouts after they come out of the oven if desired.
