Description
These overnight marinated roasted Brussels sprouts are bright, tangy, and full of flavor. Marinating the sprouts in lemon and spices before roasting creates tender centers with perfectly crispy edges.
Ingredients
1 lb Brussels sprouts, halved or quartered
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
Instructions
- Wash and trim the Brussels sprouts, removing any rough outer leaves. Cut the sprouts in half or into quarters depending on their size.
- Place the prepared Brussels sprouts in a large zip-top bag or airtight container.
- Add the lemon juice, olive oil, black pepper, paprika, and garlic salt. Seal the bag or container and toss well so the sprouts are evenly coated.
- Place the container in the refrigerator and allow the Brussels sprouts to marinate overnight (about 8 hours) so the flavors absorb.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Spread the marinated Brussels sprouts evenly on a baking sheet in a single layer without overcrowding.
- Roast for 15–20 minutes until the sprouts are tender inside and crispy around the edges.
- Serve warm as a flavorful vegetable side dish.
Notes
For extra flavor, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the sprouts during the last few minutes of roasting.
A light drizzle of balsamic vinegar before serving adds a sweet and tangy finish.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade for mild heat.
Thinly sliced garlic or onion powder can deepen the savory flavor.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for a few minutes to restore crispiness.
Fresh Brussels sprouts work best for roasting, as frozen sprouts may release extra moisture.
