Gaby's Roasted Lemon Brussels Sprouts

These roasted lemon brussels sprouts are a must-know recipe. They're really easy to make, deliver a hit of healthy cruciferous nutrients, and will fill up your tummy with a smile.

Gaby's roasted lemon brussels sprouts are taken to the next level with the addition of garlic. You can choose to mince it up or leave them whole too-- which is our favorite way to prepare it. When you leave the garlic whole, they roast in the oven and become golden nuggets of deliciousness. Same thing goes with the lemons-- add in few wedges into the brussels sprouts mix and you'll get some good caramelization on those babies. Either way though, you will love the classic combination of garlic and lemon on these perfect little vegetables.
