Ingredients
  

1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon sea salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons balsamic glaze (for drizzling)

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Fresh lemon zest (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and slice them in half. If any are larger, you might consider quartering them to ensure even cooking.

      Season the Sprouts: In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat each sprout evenly.

        Arrange on Baking Tray: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup. Spread the seasoned Brussels sprouts in a single layer, cutting side down. This helps achieve that crispy, golden finish.

          Roast in the Oven: Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. Halfway through, give the baking sheet a shake or stir the sprouts gently to ensure they roast evenly and achieve maximum crispiness.

            Add Cheese (Optional): If you like a cheesy crunch, sprinkle the grated Parmesan over the Brussels sprouts during the last 5 minutes of roasting.

              Garnish and Drizzle: Once they are beautifully golden and crispy, remove the tray from the oven. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and sprinkle with fresh lemon zest for a bright finish.

                Serve: Enjoy them hot from the oven as a savory side dish or a crunchy snack!
