The Best Roasted Brussels Sprouts Recipe (Crispy, Caramelized & Easy)

Image
Jump to Recipe Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 22-27 minutes Total Time: 32-37 minutes Servings: 4-6 Oven Temperature: 425°F (220°C) Method: Oven Roasted If you think you do not like Brussels sprouts, there is a very good chance you simply have not had them roasted properly.

A squeeze of fresh lemon at the end brightens everything up and balance...
