Roasting fresh Brussels sprouts at 400°F (200°C) brings out their natural sweetness and creates beautifully crisp, caramelized edges.
Simply toss the sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then arrange them cut-side down on a baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding so they roast evenly and develop a deep golden-brown crust.
Once roasted, finish them with a bright squeeze of lemon juice for freshness. You can also add Parmesan cheese or a drizzle of balsamic glaze for extra flavor.
This simple cooking method transforms Brussels sprouts from bitter and mushy into a delicious, nutrient-dense side dish—even for people who have never enjoyed them before.
