Ingredients
  

1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

4 cloves garlic, finely minced

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp fine sea salt

1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Optional: Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to help prevent sticking and for easier cleanup.

    Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: In a large mixing bowl, add the trimmed and halved Brussels sprouts. Pour in the olive oil and toss thoroughly to ensure every sprout is well-coated in oil.

      Add Garlic and Seasonings: To the bowl, add the minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Gently mix all of the ingredients together until the Brussels sprouts are evenly seasoned with the aromatic blend.

        Roast the Sprouts: Spread the seasoned Brussels sprouts out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes until they start to turn golden and are tender.

          Add Parmesan: After 20 minutes, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Evenly sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the Brussels sprouts. Return to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and has developed a golden-brown crust, while the sprouts become crispy.

            Finish with Lemon Juice: Once the Brussels sprouts are perfectly roasted, remove them from the oven and immediately drizzle fresh lemon juice over the top. This will add a refreshing zest that enhances the overall flavor.

              Serve: Transfer the crispy Brussels sprouts to a serving platter. For a lovely presentation, garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy your delightful Crunchy Garlic Parmesan Brussels Sprouts!
