Ingredients
1 lb Brussels sprouts
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and slice each one in half.
3. Rinse and pat dry the sprouts to ensure they roast, not steam.
4. In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder if using.
5. Arrange them on a baking sheet cut side down, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
6. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, checking around the 20-minute mark for crisp, golden edges.
7. Serve immediately while hot and crunchy.
Notes
Cut side down on the baking sheet helps maximize caramelization.
For extra flavor, drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving.
Reheat leftovers in an air fryer to revive crispiness.
