Instructions

• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This high temperature is key for achieving that crispy exterior we all love.
• Rinse the Brussels sprouts under cold water and trim the ends. Remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Cut each sprout in half lengthwise for even cooking.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts with 3 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt, and a few cracks of fresh black pepper. Toss until each sprout is well-coated.
• Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a large baking sheet, cut side down. This helps achieve maximum caramelization.
• Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the sprouts are tender and golden brown. Halfway through, give them a good shake to ensure even cooking.
• Once roasted, remove the sprouts from the oven and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice. Toss in the freshly grated cheese, allowing it to melt slightly from the heat of the sprouts.
• Transfer the roasted Brussel sprouts to a serving dish and enjoy them warm as a delicious side or a light main dish.
