Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 20 min.

Roast Brussels sprouts with sage and lemon

Peel, trim, rinse and dry 1 kg Brussels sprouts. Cut in half lengthways.

Stage 2 - 1 min.

Put into a bowl.

Preheat the oven to 410°F (210°C).

Stage 3 - 2 min.

Finely shred the sage leaves.

Stage 4 - 2 min.

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.

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.

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.

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

Stage 8 - 2 min.

Also while the sprouts are roasting, squeeze the lemon juice and put in the bowl saved from earlier. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt and pepper, then mix well.

Stage 9 - 5 min.

Take the sprouts out of the oven (but leave it on) and brush with the lemon mixture.

Stage 10 - 1 min.

Scatter the grated Parmesan over.

Stage 11 - 3 min.

Put back in the oven for 2 or 3 minutes, just to melt the Parmesan.

Stage 12

Serve immediately.

Remarks

If you don't have Parmesan, you can use pecorino or another cheese you like.

Keeping

Should be eaten immediately.
