How to Make Roast Lemon And Pepper Brussels Sprouts With Parmesan

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 lb Brussels sprouts (trimmed and halved), 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, and 1 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Toss until Brussels sprouts are evenly coated.
  4. Spread Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or coated with cooking spray.
  5. Roast for 20 minutes.
  6. While Brussels sprouts roast, prepare the parsley butter: In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons butter (melted), 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and the zest of 1/2 lemon.
  7. After 20 minutes of roasting, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Pour the parsley butter mixture over the Brussels sprouts and toss gently to combine.
  8. Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for another 10-15 minutes, or until Brussels sprouts are tender and slightly browned.
  9. Remove from oven and sprinkle generously with 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
