Each bite offers a delightful balance of nutty undertones and a gentle garlicky warmth, leaving a lasting impression of pure culinary satisfaction
Ingredients
- 1 pound or 450g Brussels sprouts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil 45ml
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: red pepper flakes for a bit of heat
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or gas mark 6.
Prepare Brussels Sprouts:
- Trim the stem ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any discolored outer leaves. Cut them in half from top to bottom.
Toss with Olive Oil:
- In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with the olive oil until they are well coated.
Add Garlic and Seasonings:
- Add the minced garlic to the bowl and toss again to distribute evenly. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If you like a bit of heat, you can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
Arrange on Baking Sheet:
- Spread the Brussels sprouts out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded, as this will help them roast evenly.
Roast in the Oven:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are golden brown and crisp on the edges. You can give them a gentle toss halfway through for even cooking.
Serve:
- Once they're done, transfer the roasted Brussels sprouts to a serving dish and serve hot.
