Easy Vegetarian Recipe
I was hungry for a vegetarian lunch a few weeks ago and after a few salads, I was hoping to really bite into something flavorful, or at least chow down on a big bowl of roasted-something. The only thing that made sense and which I had all the ingredients for in the garden and on-hand were, you guessed it, brussels sprouts. Gosh, I’m so predictable sometimes. Finally, rather than dress it up with my simple balsamic vinegar or fish sauce, I was craving for something a little more tangy, zingy, fresh, herby and citrusy. Bright flavors of lemon zest and juice, tangy-roasted, balsamic vinegar, zingy mustard and herbaceous parsley combined into one bite. And literally, these garlic roasted brussels sprouts were our full, delicious lunch. The wonderful flavors of the lemon mustard parley dressing could not have been more satisfying.
So finally, did I succeed on this garlic roasted Brussels sprouts recipe? Will you now head on over to the brussels-sprouts-loving side?
Enjoy,

How Long To Bake or Roast Brussels Sprouts?
- Brussels sprouts can very tremendously in size, ranging from the size of a large egg to as small as a 5-cent coin. Because of this, cooking times will vary.
- Make sure to adjust your cooking times depending on the size that you end up cooking. Also, try to select all the same sizes for consistent cooking.
- Most average brussels sprouts are about the size of a quarter coin, or slightly larger. Bake them at 400 degrees F for about 30 minutes. This will give a nice caramelized and slightly crispy outside.
- If you want a really crispy and charred outside, broil the brussels sprouts until they are crispy. Do this after they have been cooked through.

Garlic Roasted Brussels Sprouts Recipe with Lemon Mustard Parsley Dressing
Ingredients
Roasting Brussels Sprouts Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 pounds (680 g) brussels sprouts (approximately)
- 3 Tablespoons (45 ml) olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon (15 ml) balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves (2 cloves) garlic , minced or crushed
- kosher salt or sea salt , to taste
- fresh cracked black pepper , to taste
Dressing Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
- zest of 1 medium lemon
- 2 Tablespoons (30 ml) fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (15 g) minced italian or flat leaf parsley
- additional salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Lightly oil a sheet pan.
- Peel the outer, bruised layers of the brussels sprouts off. Trim the ends, then cut brussels sprouts in half or quarters (for small brussels sprouts, cut them in half, and for large brussels sprouts, quarter them for more even cooking).

- Spread the brussels sprouts, cut side down, on the prepared sheet pan. Roast in oven for 15 minutes. Flip the sprouts to cut side up, then roast for 10-15 minutes more or until browned.
- While the brussels sprouts are roasting, make the dressing: Combine the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, dijon mustard, brown sugar and parsley. Set aside.
- When brussels sprouts are cooked, toss them with the dressing and season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Hi! This looks beautiful. I’ve always been a fan of brussys, I actually like them boiled up in a big bowl with some salt, maybe some gravy. My teenage years were spent living on that! My Mum and others all thought it was a bit weird haha. Bought a beautiful bag of them today so might make this tonight, if I do I will link it back to your blog for the recipe. Thanks for the inspiration xx
I had these tonight. SO good!
A new regular recipe for me, I think.
We were just about ready to give up on brussel sprouts. We had one last bunch of them in the fridge and this was the last ditch effort to see if we would ever get another bunch. I made them for a Sat evening dinner and had to modify the recipe a bit because of time. I sliced them and prepared them in a wok with oil, basalmic vinegar, lemon juice, salt, pepper, brown sugar, mustard, garlic powder all together in the wok. I accidentally used a lot more brown sugar than what the recipe calls for…probably 3 or 4 times more. What came out of the pan was a very easy to eat dish. Thanks for the inspiration!
