A delightful twist on classic roasted Brussels sprouts, enhanced with a hint of lemon zest for a fresh and vibrant flavor.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and optimal roasting results.
Rinse the Brussels sprouts thoroughly and trim the ends. If they are large, cut them in half.
Cutting larger sprouts in half helps them cook evenly.
Peel the garlic cloves and leave them whole.
Whole garlic cloves roast to a sweet and mellow flavor.
In a mixing bowl, combine the Brussels sprouts, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
Ensure all pieces are coated for consistent flavor.
Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet in a single layer.
A single layer prevents steaming and promotes crispiness.
Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden and tender.
Stirring halfway ensures even browning.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh lemon zest before serving.
Adding lemon zest at the end preserves its bright flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful roasted Brussels sprouts.
