Ingredients
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts (halved or quartered)
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp garlic salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: Combine lemon juice, olive oil, pepper, paprika, and garlic salt in a gallon-size zip-top bag.
- Marinate the Brussels Sprouts: Add halved Brussels sprouts, seal the bag, and toss to coat evenly. Refrigerate overnight (or at least 2 hours for quicker prep).
- Preheat the Oven: Set the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Roast the Brussels Sprouts: Spread marinated sprouts on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and slightly crispy.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm as a side dish or a healthy snack.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet.
- Adjust seasonings to taste, adding cayenne for heat or a drizzle of honey for sweetness.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
