Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pd brussel sprouts
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon zest
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 tbsp garlic powder (optional)
Instructions
- Wash and clean Brussels sprouts. Peel off outer leaves, one at a time. Discard core. You should up with a lot of little Brussels Sprout leaves.
- Put on a baking sheet and add olive oil and lemon zest and mix up, making sure to coat.
- Add salt and pepper. It pays to add a little more salt as it really helps enhance the flavor.
- Cook at 400 degrees for 10-20 minutes depending on your oven or desired level of crispiness.
Notes
As the Brussels Sprouts cook, some will turn dark brown or black and they look burnt. This is actually some of the best flavor–a deep and rich flavor with a good crunch. But there is a fine line between baked crispy and burnt to a crisp, so be careful and keep an eye on these!
