Add to the bowl. Grate the zest of 1 lemon over.

Add 8 tablespoons olive oil, salt and pepper. Mix well.

Stage 5 - 5 min.

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.

Meanwhile, grate 30 g Parmesan (Parmigiano Reggiano) and set aside.
