1. Prepare the Brussels Sprouts:

• Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any outer leaves that are discolored or wilted.
• Cut each Brussels sprout in half to ensure even cooking.

2. Season the Brussels Sprouts:

• Place the halved Brussels sprouts in a large bowl.
• Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
• Add salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings like garlic powder or onion powder. Toss again to ensure the sprouts are well-seasoned.

3. Roast the Brussels Sprouts:

• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet, cut side down for extra crispiness.
• Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping the Brussels sprouts halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
• Roast until the Brussels sprouts are golden brown and crispy on the edges.

4. Optional Flavor Boost:

• For a tangy finish, drizzle the roasted Brussels sprouts with balsamic vinegar right after they come out of the oven. Toss gently to combine.
• Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese for an extra layer of flavor.

5. Serve:

• Serve the roasted Brussels sprouts immediately, garnished with fresh lemon wedges for a burst of brightness.
