Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Toss Brussels sprouts, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice and zest in a bowl, coating each sprout well.
Spread sprouts onto an ungreased baking sheet. Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until edges are brown and the sprouts become quite fragrant. Remove from oven, toss with Parmesan, salt and pepper, and garnish with more zest, just before serving.


Note: If you want to really maximize the lemon flavor, try using Limonato (Meyer Lemon) Olive Oil instead.
