PREPARATION

  • Preheat the oven: Set the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
  • Prepare the Brussels sprouts: Trim the ends and remove any damaged outer leaves. Cut each sprout in half to ensure that even when cooking, if the sprouts are particularly large, quarter them, which helps them to roast evenly.
  • Seasoning mix: In a bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, salt and black pepper. Stir well to ensure each piece is evenly coated with seasoning.
  • Arrange on the tray: Spread the Brussels sprouts out in a single layer on the baking tray, cut side down. This helps them to develop a crispy, golden crust while roasting.
  • Roast the Brussels sprouts: Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning. The outer leaves should turn golden and crispy while the inside remains tender.
  • Check for doneness: Pierce a sprout with a fork; it should be soft but not mushy. If you want extra crispiness, leave them in for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  • Serve hot: Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy immediately. If desired, garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs, lemon zest or a drizzle of balsamic glaze for added flavour.

TIPS

Here are some tips for Spiced Garlic Roasted Brussels Sprouts:

  • Maximise crispiness: Arrange Brussels sprouts cut-side down to get a caramelised, golden crust.
  • Avoid overcrowding: Spread them out on the tray to ensure even roasting.
  • Enhance flavour: Add a squeeze of lemon juice or balsamic glaze after roasting for extra brightness.
  • Try different oils: Swap olive oil for avocado oil or melted butter for a richer taste.
  • Make it spicy: Sprinkle red pepper flakes for a fiery kick.

VARIATIONS

  • Cheesy twist: Sprinkle with grated Parmesan or nutritional yeast before serving.
  • Sweet and spicy: Drizzle with honey or maple syrup and add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  • Herb-infused: Toss with fresh rosemary or thyme for extra aroma.
  • Balsamic glaze: Add a splash of balsamic vinegar before serving for a tangy contrast.
  • Make it a meal: Serve over quinoa, mix into a salad or pair with grilled chicken.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Freezing: Not recommended, as Brussels sprouts can become mushy when thawed.
  • Reheating: Warm in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for 5-7 minutes to restore crispiness.
