Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound (454 grams) fresh brussels sprouts, cut into pieces
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) olive oil for sprouts
Seasoning:
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Aioli Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) olive oil
- 1 1/2 tablespoons (22.5 milliliters) dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon fresh garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to a scorching 400°F, ensuring a perfectly crisp roasting environment for the Brussels sprouts.
- Meticulously coat the Brussels sprouts with a vibrant blend of oil, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper, ensuring each sprout is evenly seasoned.
- Arrange the seasoned sprouts on a baking sheet in a single, uncrowded layer to promote maximum caramelization and crispiness.
- Roast in the hot oven for 18-20 minutes, using a spatula to flip the sprouts midway through cooking to achieve an even, golden-brown exterior.
- While the sprouts are roasting, whisk together mayonnaise, oil, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and selected seasonings until a smooth, creamy aioli forms.
- Once the Brussels sprouts emerge crispy and fragrant, transfer to a serving plate and generously drizzle with the prepared Dijon aioli.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and herbal freshness, then serve immediately while the sprouts are piping hot and wonderfully crisp.
Notes
- Slice Brussels sprouts in half for maximum crispiness and even caramelization during roasting.
- Pat sprouts completely dry before seasoning to ensure they crisp up rather than steam in the oven.
- Use high-quality olive oil for better flavor and enhanced browning of the vegetable edges.
- For gluten-free version, swap regular mayo with avocado or vegan mayo and use gluten-free Dijon mustard.
