I realize that eating a bowl of these tiny cabbages isn’t everybody’s cup of tea. I happen to LOVE brussels sprouts – in fact, I’d say they are my favorite vegetable. This recipe is super simple, delicious and the perfect side dish to any meal. Recipe follows:
Crispy Lemon Roasted Brussels Sprouts:
- 2 pounds Brussels Sprouts, Bottoms Trimmed
- 4 Tablespoons Olive Oil (I used Truffle Oil)
- 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- ¾ teaspoons Black Pepper
- 2 whole Lemons
- Parmesan Cheese for sprinkling
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Cut off the bottom ends of the Brussels sprouts and discard. Cut the remaining part in half and place into a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper and give it a good mix. Spread this mixture onto a baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet into the oven and roast for 40 minutes. Remove the baking sheet every 15 minutes while roasting and give the Brussels sprouts a good toss to make sure they are evenly roasting and browning. 10 minutes before they are done, squeeze an entire lemon on top of the vegetables and then cut the remaining lemon up and throw it onto the baking sheet and place back into the oven to finish roasted.
Once the edges are crisp and brown, remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle with cheese. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Serve immediately.

Love your photos…any chance your b-friend will convert? haha
Probably not haha, but a girl can dream can’t she? At first I thought, “Oh dear, how can I make this work?” and it has actually been a lot of fun experimenting with recipes. Thanks so much for your comment! 🙂
I do basically this same thing to broccoli, and I throw some garlic cloves in to. It’s so ridiculously good, right??
