How to Make Lime Brussels Sprouts Delicious

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and trim the Brussels sprouts, then cut them in half lengthwise.

  4. Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
