Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare Brussels Sprouts:

• Roast the Brussels sprouts in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges. Toss them halfway through the roasting time for even cooking.

7. Optional Drizzle:

8. Serve and Enjoy:

• Transfer the roasted Brussels sprouts to a serving dish. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve immediately as a delicious side dish.
