My favorite healthy side dish is this recipe for crispy Roasted Brussels sprouts!

Roasted Brussels sprouts are made bright, zingy, & addicting by a delicious lemon Parmesan dressing.

What are your thoughts on Brussels sprouts? Do you adore or despise them? These Roasted Brussels Sprouts seem to have gained popularity over the past few years, and I couldn’t be happier about it!

The fresh, healthful, yet hearty Brussels sprouts are some of my favorite fall vegetables since they go well with a variety of seasonings.

But in my opinion, properly preparing Brussels sprouts is the key to enjoying them. Nobody wants any more boiled or steamed sprouts because they are frequently bitter and have an unpleasant mushy feel.

So, if you’re still unsure, give this recipe for roasted Brussels sprouts a try. They have crisp, crackly outside leaves and golden brown cores when they are taken out of the oven.

Even the fiercest haters of Brussels sprouts can’t resist them when they are seasoned with this simple Lemon, Thyme, and Parmesan recipe. I prefer them straight off the sheet pan.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS RECIPE

It’s simple to make perfectly crispy baked Brussels sprouts! What you must do is as follows:

• Trim and cut the Brussels sprouts initially. Any dry or woody stems at the base of the nodes should be chopped off and thrown away, then leave smaller sprouts whole while slicing larger sprouts in half. To ensure even cooking, try to keep the sizes of all your vegetables consistent.
• Season the sprouts next. Sprinkle them with generous amounts of salt & pepper and olive oil. Place them on a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper, and cut sides down, in an equal layers. By doing this, the sprouts’ cut sides will be nicely browned, and as they bake, their exposed leaves will develop a delightful crispness. A few loose leaves mixed with the whole sprouts are acceptable because they turn up delightfully crispy and gently toasted.
• It’s time to bake at last! Bake the sheet pan in a 425° oven for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft and the edges are golden brown. Enjoy!
