Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound (454 grams) Brussels sprouts
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 3 cloves garlic
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Cooking Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) olive oil
Instructions
- Warm your oven to a toasty 400°F (200°C), creating the perfect roasting environment for your Brussels sprouts.
- Thoroughly wash your Brussels sprouts and slice each one precisely in half, revealing their tender inner layers.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil into a mixing bowl, then finely chop 3 garlic cloves into fragrant, tiny pieces.
- Toss the halved Brussels sprouts with the olive oil, minced garlic, ¼ teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper until every surface gleams with seasoning.
- Arrange the seasoned Brussels sprouts cut-side down on a baking sheet, ensuring they have breathing room between each piece for maximum crispiness.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and roast for 22-25 minutes, flipping them gently halfway through to ensure even caramelization.
- Remove from the oven when the edges are crisp and golden brown, and the centers have softened to a delectable tenderness.
- Transfer to a serving dish immediately, letting the rich garlic aroma fill your kitchen.
Notes
- Trim the tough stem ends and slice larger sprouts in half for even cooking and maximum crispy edges.
- Use fresh garlic for the most robust flavor, and don’t be afraid to add extra cloves if garlic is your favorite.
- For a crunchier texture, make sure the baking sheet isn’t overcrowded and the sprouts have space between them.
- Consider adding a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese or toasted pine nuts in the last few minutes of roasting for extra depth and richness.
