Offering the perfect combination of savory and bright flavors, this 'Lazy Dog Brussels Sprouts Recipe' provides a delectable way to add a family favorite to your culinary repertoire.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This high heat will ensure the Brussels sprouts become nicely caramelized.
In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with 2 tablespoons olive oil, a generous pinch of Kosher salt, and black pepper to taste. If you enjoy a bit of heat, a sprinkle of pepper flakes can also be added.
Spread the seasoned sprouts on a baking sheet, arranging them in a single layer to facilitate even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the sprouts are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Shake the pan or use a spatula to turn the sprouts every 5-7 minutes to promote consistent cooking.
While the sprouts are roasting, heat a small pan over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and the minced garlic, cooking until fragrant – about 1 minute.
Mix the breadcrumbs into the garlic and oil, stirring until they’re golden brown. Remove from heat.
Once the Brussels sprouts are roasted, transfer them to a bowl. Drizzle with lemon juice and an extra helping of olive oil if desired. Sprinkle over the toasted breadcrumb mixture and grated Parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately with your choice of protein like roasted chicken, or as a complement to other roasted veggies or sweet potatoes.
