Calories: 152kcal
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved
- ½ medium red onion cut into ½-inch wedges
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1½ teaspoons Golden Steer Lemon Pepper Seasoning
- ⅓ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice optional
Equipment
- Silicone Liner or Parchment Paper
- Cheese Grater optional
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 425 °F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
- Prepare the Vegetables: Pat the Brussels sprouts dry and place them in a large mixing bowl with the red onion wedges.
- Season the Vegetables: Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with Golden Steer Lemon Pepper Seasoning. Toss until evenly coated.
- Arrange for Roasting: Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Position the Brussels sprouts cut-side down, leaving space between the vegetables for proper caramelization.
- Roast Until Golden: Roast for 20-25 minutes, until the Brussels sprouts are tender with deeply golden edges and the red onions are lightly caramelized.
- Add the Parmesan and Herbs: Transfer the hot roasted vegetables to a serving bowl. Immediately add the freshly grated Parmesan and chopped parsley. Gently toss until the cheese lightly coats the vegetables.
- Finish and Serve: Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
- Dry the Brussels sprouts thoroughly. Excess moisture encourages steaming instead of roasting.
- Keep the onion wedges thick. Thinly sliced onions may burn before the Brussels sprouts finish roasting.
- Avoid overcrowding the pan. Use a large baking sheet to encourage even browning.
- Grate the Parmesan fresh. Finely grated Parmesan clings better to warm vegetables.
- Taste before adding salt. Golden Steer Lemon Pepper Seasoning and Parmesan may already provide enough salt.
