Description
A deliciously crispy roasted Brussels sprouts recipe served with a tangy and creamy Dijon aioli, perfect as a healthy and flavorful side dish.
Ingredients
Scale
Brussels Sprouts
- 1 ½ pounds Brussels sprouts (trimmed and halved)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
Dijon Aioli
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 small garlic clove (finely grated)
- Pinch of salt and black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Toss Brussels Sprouts: In a large bowl, toss the trimmed and halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until they are evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Arrange and Roast: Spread the sprouts cut-side down in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure not to overcrowd them. Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the edges are crispy and deeply browned.
- Prepare Dijon Aioli: While the sprouts roast, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, finely grated garlic, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Serve: Serve the hot, crispy Brussels sprouts with the Dijon aioli on the side for dipping, making for a flavorful and healthy side dish.
Notes
- To achieve even crispier Brussels sprouts, ensure they are spaced out on the baking sheet to avoid overcrowding.
- Placing the sprouts cut-side down helps develop a crispy, caramelized surface.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese or a drizzle of balsamic glaze before serving.
