Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb fresh Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2–3 tablespoons balsamic glaze
- Optional: crushed garlic, grated Parmesan, toasted nuts (pecans or walnuts)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Wash the Brussels sprouts, trim the stems, and cut them in half lengthwise. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the sprouts. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of sea salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
- Spread the sprouts out in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cut side down.
- Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through. The edges should be golden and crispy while the centers remain tender.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and drizzle 2-3 tablespoons of balsamic glaze over the sprouts. Toss gently to coat.
- Transfer the sprouts to a serving dish and garnish with optional Parmesan cheese or toasted nuts. Serve immediately.
Notes
Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to ensure crispy sprouts. Use high heat for caramelization and flip the sprouts halfway through roasting for even browning. Add toppings like Parmesan or nuts after roasting for the best texture.
