ingredients
Steps
Preparation
Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C for fan-assisted ovens). Prepare the Brussels sprouts: remove any loose or damaged outer leaves, trim the tough ends, and halve any larger sprouts. In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Roasting
Spread the seasoned Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and tender-crisp, shaking the pan once or twice during cooking to ensure even roasting.
Make the Sauce
While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, prepare the garlic sauce. Peel and mince the garlic cloves. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, a pinch of salt and pepper, and the chopped fresh parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serving
Remove the roasted Brussels sprouts from the oven and immediately drizzle with the garlic sauce. Gently toss to coat all the sprouts. Serve warm as a side dish or a light main course.
Extra Tips
► Always remove the outer leaves of the Brussels sprouts and trim the stem for more even roasting.
► If you like a spicy kick, add a pinch of chili flakes to the Brussels sprouts before roasting.
► For the garlic sauce, you can use fresh chives or dill instead of parsley if you prefer a different flavor.
