Steps
Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the Brussels sprouts in half. Toss with drizzles of olive oil and pinches of salt and pepper and spread evenly on the baking sheet. Roast for 20 to 30 minutes, or until tender and golden brown around the edges. The exact timing will depend on the size of your sprouts.
If desired, toss the roasted Brussels sprouts with the lemon juice, zest, Parmesan, and thyme leaves. Garnish with parsley and red pepper flakes.

Debbie on 2026-02-04 13:45:51 (5 stars): Thank you for this recipe!!!!
Joe on 2026-01-28 20:58:08 (5 stars): Made exactly as directed and the family loved them. They were very flavorful and complimented our pork chops. Thank you. 425 is not too hot for EVOO, especially just a drizzle to coat.
Ethel Duhamell on 2025-11-23 12:06:36 (5 stars): Amazing.
Kate O. on 2025-11-03 18:28:00 (5 stars): Turned out perfect! I started cut side down and flipped after 20min. At the end I added some lemon juice added to a honey mustard vinaigrette we had, then seized on top. They were delicious and a big hit.
Mila on 2025-02-17 21:40:21 (5 stars): Trust the process. I was unsure adding lemon to brussel sprouts for the first time everrr. Turned out so very yumm!
Sally on 2025-01-02 09:21:05 (5 stars): I never have been a fan of Brussel sprouts until this recipe. I’m hooked. Thank you for the recipe. Every thing I have made from your site has been very tasty. I ordered two of your books. They will arrive on this Saturday.
