Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and slice them in half lengthwise. If some of the outer leaves are loose, remove them.
  2. Season: In a bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. If you prefer, you can use cooking spray to coat them lightly, which will reduce points.
  3. Roast the Brussels Sprouts: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the seasoned Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure they’re not overcrowded to ensure they get crispy.
  4. Roast and Flip: Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time. The Brussels sprouts should be golden brown and crispy on the edges when done.
  5. Optional Finishing Touch: Once roasted, drizzle with balsamic vinegar and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired. The vinegar adds a nice tangy kick and the Parmesan adds a touch of richness.
  6. Serve: Serve immediately as a side dish with your favorite main meal!

Tips:

  • Add More Flavor: Feel free to experiment by adding other seasonings such as paprika, cayenne pepper for heat, or lemon zest for a fresh pop of flavor.
  • Crispier Brussels Sprouts: For extra crispiness, you can cook the Brussels sprouts in the air fryer at 375°F for about 15-20 minutes.
  • Sautéing Option: If you prefer to sauté them, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the Brussels sprouts for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they’re golden and crispy.
