Ingredients
  

1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon sea salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons balsamic glaze (for drizzling)

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Fresh lemon zest (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for roasting.

    Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: Trim off the tough ends of the Brussels sprouts and slice each one in half. If you encounter some larger sprouts, you may want to quarter them to promote even cooking.

      Season the Sprouts: In a large mixing bowl, add the halved Brussels sprouts. Drizzle in the olive oil and then sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together thoroughly, ensuring each sprout is evenly coated with the flavorful mixture.

        Arrange on Baking Tray: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup later. Spread the seasoned Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the tray, with the cut sides facing down. This technique aids in achieving a wonderfully crispy and golden appearance when roasted.

          Roast in the Oven: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the Brussels sprouts for about 20-25 minutes. Halfway through cooking, give the baking sheet a gentle shake or lightly stir the sprouts to ensure they roast evenly and develop maximum crispiness.

            Add Cheese (Optional): If you love a cheesy crunch, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the Brussels sprouts during the last 5 minutes of roasting. This will melt slightly and add a delicious savory layer.

              Garnish and Drizzle: Once the Brussels sprouts are beautifully golden and crispy, remove the baking tray from the oven. Drizzle them generously with balsamic glaze and finish with a sprinkle of fresh lemon zest to add a vibrant brightness.

                Serve: Serve the Brussels sprouts hot from the oven as a delightful savory side dish or a crunchy snack that everyone will enjoy!
