Infused with aromatic garlic and the warm depth of smoked paprika, this dish is a savory delight perfect for an elegant dinner or a relaxed weekend lunch. These vegan Brussels sprouts are not just delicious—they're also easy to prepare and packed with flavor, offering a unique twist on the classic preparation method.
- Quick Prep: This dish is ready in just a few simple steps.
- Flavorful and Satisfying: The combination of garlic and smoked paprika elevates the sprouts to new heights.
- Versatile Pairing: Perfect as a side dish or even a main course for a light meal.
- Health Benefits: Brussels sprouts are rich in vitamins and antioxidants.
Brussels sprouts take the center stage, enhanced by several key ingredients:
- Brussels Sprouts: Fresh, halved, and perfectly crisped in the oven.
- Olive Oil: Helps achieve a golden, caramelized texture.
- Garlic: Adds aromatic depth to the dish.
- Smoked Paprika: Provides a warm, slightly spicy undertone.
- Salt and Pepper: To taste, making sure the natural flavors shine.
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). While it heats, wash and halve your Brussels sprouts, then transfer them to a mixing bowl. Add olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper, tossing until everything is well-coated.
Spread the Brussels sprouts evenly on a baking sheet prepared with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Roast them in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking and a beautiful golden color.
Once roasted to perfection, you'll have tender, deliciously seasoned Brussels sprouts with a crispy edge and an irresistible aroma.
Want to mix things up? Try these customizations:
- Add a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a tangy finish.
- Sprinkle with nutritional yeast just before serving for a vegan "cheesy" twist.
- For add-ins, roasted shallots or sliced almonds can bring an extra layer of texture and flavor.
Pair these roasted Brussels sprouts with quinoa or brown rice for a wholesome meal. They also complement hearty dishes like vegan pot pie or lentil loaf perfectly.
