Ingredients
  

1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

4 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 teaspoon fine sea salt

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C), ensuring it reaches temperature before you place your Brussels sprouts inside.

    Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: In a large mixing bowl, add the halved Brussels sprouts. Pour in the olive oil, and then add the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Toss everything together thoroughly until all the sprouts are evenly coated with the flavorful mixture.

      Bake: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Spread the seasoned Brussels sprouts out in a single layer on the sheet, ensuring the cut sides are facing down. This will help achieve maximum crispiness. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes.

        Add Parmesan: After the initial 20 minutes of baking, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Using tongs, flip each Brussels sprout over to expose the rounded side. Generously sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the sprouts, ensuring even coverage. Return the sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the sprouts are golden brown and crispy.

          Finish and Serve: Once the Brussels sprouts are done and beautifully crispy, take them out of the oven. Drizzle freshly squeezed lemon juice over the top for a zesty kick. Gently toss to combine the flavors, then garnish with the chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.

            Enjoy: Serve these crispy delights warm as an irresistible side dish or enjoy them as a crunchy, savory snack!
