Ingredients

• 1 pound Brussels sprouts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Rinse the Brussels sprouts under cold water. Trim the stem ends, remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves, and cut the sprouts in half lengthwise.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the sprouts are evenly coated.

Step 4

Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 18-20 minutes, turning the sprouts once halfway through, until they are golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges.

Step 5

Remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven and drizzle them with honey and lemon juice while they’re still hot. Toss gently to evenly distribute the flavors.

Step 6

If desired, sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a pinch of red chili flakes over the top for added flavor.

Step 7

Serve immediately as a side dish and enjoy your Bodacious Brussels!
