Step by step recipe


Stage 1 - 20 min.
Roast Brussels sprouts with sage and lemon
Peel, trim, rinse and dry 2 kgs Brussels sprouts. Cut in half lengthways.

Stage 2 - 1 min.
Roast Brussels sprouts with sage and lemon
Put into a bowl.

Preheat the oven to 410°F (210°C).

Stage 3 - 2 min.
Roast Brussels sprouts with sage and lemon
Finely shred the sage leaves.

Stage 4 - 2 min.
Roast Brussels sprouts with sage and lemon
Add to the bowl. Grate the zest of 2 lemons over.

Add 16 tablespoons olive oil, salt and pepper. Mix well.

Stage 5 - 5 min.
Roast Brussels sprouts with sage and lemon
Lay a sheet of cooking parchment on a baking sheet, then arrange the sprouts cut side upwards as far as possible.

Don't wash the bowl, as we'll use it again in stage 8.

Stage 6 - 20 min.
Roast Brussels sprouts with sage and lemon
Put in the oven for about 20 minutes until the sprouts are nicely browned.

Turn the baking sheet round halfway through cooking if necessary so that they colour evenly.

Stage 7 - 3 min.
Roast Brussels sprouts with sage and lemon
Meanwhile, grate 60 g Parmesan (Parmigiano Reggiano) and set aside.

Stage 8 - 2 min.
Roast Brussels sprouts with sage and lemon
Also while the sprouts are roasting, squeeze the lemon juice and put in the bowl saved from earlier. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt and pepper, then mix well.

Stage 9 - 5 min.
Roast Brussels sprouts with sage and lemon
Take the sprouts out of the oven (but leave it on) and brush with the lemon mixture.

Stage 10 - 1 min.
Roast Brussels sprouts with sage and lemon
Scatter the grated Parmesan over.

Stage 11 - 3 min.
Roast Brussels sprouts with sage and lemon
Put back in the oven for 2 or 3 minutes, just to melt the Parmesan.

Stage 12
Roast Brussels sprouts with sage and lemon
Serve immediately.
Remarks
If you don't have Parmesan, you can use pecorino or another cheese you like.
