Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 pound Brussels Sprouts Fresh and vibrant; frozen ones aren’t suitable for this recipe.
2 tablespoons Olive Oil High-quality oil helps in crisping; avocado oil also works well.
1 tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar Adds a tangy sweetness; apple cider vinegar can be a zesty substitute.
2 cloves Garlic, minced Feel free to skip if you're not a fan of garlic.
1 teaspoon Salt Essential for seasoning.
1 teaspoon Black Pepper Essential for seasoning.
1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese Optional, for added umami; nut or dairy-free cheeses can be excellent substitutes for vegans.

Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any discolored leaves.
Toss the Brussels sprouts in a bowl with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until coated evenly.
Spread them on a baking sheet in a single layer to promote even cooking.

Cooking

Roast for about 20-25 minutes until crispy and golden brown, tossing halfway through.

Notes

Serve as a side dish for any meal. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or skillet to retain crispiness. Freezing is not recommended for roasted Brussels sprouts.
