Description:
I absolutely adore Brussels sprouts, especially when they’re roasted to perfection with a hint of sage. Roasting gives them a delightful crispy exterior while keeping the insides tender, creating a perfect balance of textures and flavors.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon ground sage
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh lemon juice (optional)
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
-
Prepare Brussels Sprouts: In a large bowl, toss Brussels sprouts with half of the olive oil, ground sage, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
-
Roast Brussels Sprouts: Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking dish coated with cooking spray. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the sprouts are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
-
Brown Garlic: While the sprouts are roasting, heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden brown and fragrant.
-
Combine: Remove the skillet from heat. If using, stir in fresh lemon juice to the garlic oil.
-
Finish: Once the Brussels sprouts are done roasting, add them to the skillet with the garlic oil. Toss gently to combine, ensuring the sprouts are coated with the flavorful garlic oil.
-
Serve: Transfer the roasted Brussels sprouts with browned garlic to a serving dish. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot and enjoy!
This dish is perfect as a side for any meal, adding a burst of flavor and nutrients to your plate. It’s low in cholesterol, quick to prepare, and utterly delicious—a true favorite for Brussels sprout enthusiasts!
