Let’s get cooking! Creating these Crispy Roasted Brussel Sprouts is a breeze, and I’ll walk you through each step:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Trim the ends of the Brussel sprouts and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Slice each sprout in half to ensure even cooking.
3. In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussel sprouts with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until they are well-coated.
4. Spread the seasoned Brussel sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded, as this will help them roast evenly and become crispy.
5. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and browned. Stir halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.
6. If desired, sprinkle the roasted Brussel sprouts with grated Parmesan cheese as soon as they come out of the oven. The residual heat will melt the cheese slightly, adding a delicious layer of flavor.

Remember to follow your senses, just like my abuela taught me. The aroma and color will guide you to perfection!
