A delightful twist on roasted Brussels sprouts, featuring a crispy texture and a burst of garlic herb flavor.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and optimal crispiness.
Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half lengthwise.
Cutting them in half allows for a crispier texture and faster cooking.
In a mixing bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, thyme, and lemon zest until evenly coated.
Ensure all sprouts are well coated for consistent flavor.
Spread the seasoned Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Avoid overcrowding to ensure they roast evenly and become crispy.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the sprouts are golden brown and tender.
Stirring halfway ensures even browning on all sides.
Serve the roasted Brussels sprouts warm as a side dish or snack.
Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice for added freshness.
