Ingredients

• 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (or your favorite cheese)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: a squeeze of lemon juice for extra zest

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
3. Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet.
4. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are tender and golden brown on the edges.
5. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the Brussels sprouts and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. Optionally, drizzle with a bit of lemon juice before serving for a fresh, tangy finish.

Chef’s Tip: For an extra crispy texture, flip the Brussels sprouts halfway through the roasting process.
