Elevate your dinner with these savory, crispy roasted garlic Brussels sprouts. This recipe utilizes high-heat roasting to achieve perfectly caramelized edges and a tender center. The addition of fresh, toasted garlic creates an aromatic depth that transforms simple vegetables into a restaurant-quality side dish.

Ingredients
1.5 lbs Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Rinse the Brussels sprouts under cold water and pat them completely dry.
Trim the woody ends off each sprout and slice them vertically into equal halves.
Place the sprouts on a large rimmed baking sheet.
Drizzle with olive oil and toss until evenly coated.
Arrange the sprouts cut-side down on the tray to maximize crispy contact.
Roast for 20 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
Remove the tray, add the minced garlic, toss thoroughly, and roast for an additional 5 minutes until garlic is toasted.
Finish with a drizzle of fresh lemon juice before serving.
Notes
Ensure the sprouts are thoroughly dried after rinsing to guarantee maximum crispiness. Do not overcrowd the baking sheet; if necessary, use two pans for optimal air circulation. Add the garlic in the final 5 minutes to prevent bitterness.
