Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 200°C (400°F). A high temperature is key for achieving caramelization.
Arrange on a Baking Sheet: Spread the sprouts in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking.
Bake: Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping the sprouts halfway through to ensure they brown evenly on all sides.
3. Finishing Touch
Add Lemon Juice: Just before serving, drizzle the sprouts with lemon juice for a fresh, zesty kick that enhances their flavor.
Tips for Perfect Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Choose Fresh Sprouts: Opt for firm, bright green sprouts without brown spots.
Avoid Overcrowding: Give the sprouts space on the baking sheet to prevent steaming instead of roasting.
Customize the Flavors: Add toppings like toasted walnuts, grated Parmesan, or crispy bacon bits for extra texture and flavor.
Monitor Cooking Time: The sprouts should be golden brown and crispy on the outside while remaining tender inside.
