Roasted Lemon Brussels Sprouts – November 2011

Here’s a Roasted Lemon Brussels Sprouts recipe to brighten up your day.

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 pounds fresh brussels sprouts, end trimmed and halved

1 lemon, cut into quarters and then into paper thin slices

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon pepper

1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (optional)

juice of a lemon

Procedure

Cut the brussels sprouts in half, lengthwise.
Toss with olive oil, lemon slices, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
Get your skillet hot and place the Brussels sprouts flat down.
Cook for 15 minutes until they brown.
A few minutes before serving I cover the pan to ensure that they are cooked thru and thru.
Right before serving squeeze lemon juice over them.
