Ingredients
Scale
Brussels Sprouts
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
Seasonings and Oils
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
Optional Garnishes
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for roasting the Brussels sprouts evenly and creating a crispy exterior.
- Toss Brussels Sprouts: In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika if using. Toss thoroughly to coat all pieces evenly with the seasoning and oil.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned Brussels sprouts out in a single layer on a baking sheet to promote even roasting and prevent steaming.
- Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Drizzle Garlic Butter: Pour the garlic butter evenly over the Brussels sprouts on the baking sheet, ensuring each piece is well coated for maximum flavor.
- Roast Brussels Sprouts: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to allow even cooking and browning. Look for a golden brown and tender texture.
- Add Parmesan (optional): If desired, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the Brussels sprouts during the last 5 minutes of roasting to let it melt and create a cheesy finish.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve warm for a delicious side dish.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, make sure to spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer without overcrowding.
- Smoked paprika adds a lovely smoky flavor but can be omitted or substituted with regular paprika.
- Parmesan cheese is optional but adds a nice savory note if you consume dairy.
- You can adjust the amount of garlic butter depending on your taste preference.
- To keep it dairy-free, substitute butter with more olive oil and omit the cheese.
