Ingredients
  

1.5 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon sea salt

½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional for garnish)

Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature is crucial for achieving that wonderfully crispy texture on the Brussels sprouts.

    Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: Rinse the Brussels sprouts under cold running water to freshen them up. Trim off the tough ends and eliminate any discolored or wilted leaves. Slice each sprout in half lengthwise to maximize surface area for roasting.

      Season the Sprouts: In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts with the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Toss the mixture thoroughly until every sprout is evenly coated with the delicious seasoning blend.

        Roast in the Oven: Transfer the seasoned Brussels sprouts onto a large baking sheet, ensuring they are arranged in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the sprouts for optimal crispiness. Roast them in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the sprouts halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning and caramelization.

          Add Balsamic Vinegar: Once the Brussels sprouts are golden brown and crispy, carefully remove them from the oven. Drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the hot sprouts and give them a gentle toss to ensure they're well-coated. If you’re opting to use Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it generously over the sprouts and return them to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and crisp slightly.

            Garnish and Serve: After the final roasting, remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven and transfer them to a beautifully arranged serving platter. Finish by garnishing with freshly chopped parsley, adding a vibrant touch. Serve your delightful crispy roasted Brussels sprouts warm and indulge in their savory flavor!
