Ingredients

1½ lbs Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
2–3 tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
Optional: ½ teaspoon garlic powder or 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
Optional: 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze (for drizzling after roasting)
Optional: ¼ cup grated Parmesan or 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and position rack in the center.
Trim the stem ends off the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow leaves. Cut in half or quarters, depending on size.
Place sprouts on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings. Toss until well coated.
Arrange them cut-side down in a single layer, leaving space between each.
Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until edges are browned and crisp.
Remove from oven and finish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze or a sprinkle of Parmesan, if using.
Serve hot and enjoy every crispy bite!
