Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 500 g Brussel Sprouts (trimmed and halved)
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp Salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 tsp Paprika (optional, for extra flavour)
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika (if using). Toss everything together until the Brussels sprouts are evenly coated with the seasoning.
- 3
Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they aren't too crowded. This allows them to roast evenly and become crispy.
- 4
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 20 minutes or until the Brussels sprouts are tender on the inside and nicely caramelized on the outside. You can give them a gentle shake or stir halfway through to ensure even cooking.

Once roasted to perfection, remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven and serve immediately.
