Note

This recipe makes very crispy garlic. In some ovens, it could burn or become bitter. If you are worried about the garlic getting too dark for your liking, slice it thin and add it at the last 5-7 minutes of cooking time, coated in a little oil and scattered around the pan.
For less crispy cheese, add it for the last 10 minutes.
To keep your sprouts from sticking, line your pan with nonstick foil or baking paper.
Dry your Brussels sprouts well. The drier they are, the crispier they’ll be. If washing, use paper towels to pat them dry or use a salad spinner to spin that liquid right off.
To achieve crisper sprouts, spread them on the pan in a non-cluttered way. Cluttering causes you to steam the Brussels sprouts instead of roasting them.
Cut the sprouts into equally sized pieces if you want the sprouts to have an equal texture.
Be sure to start with a hot oven to help the sprouts crisp on the outside and soft on the inside.
Brown is good. If you’ve never cooked Brussels sprouts this way, at first glance, you may think they look burnt out of the oven, but once you taste them, you’ll know those little “burnt” areas are the best-tasting parts!
When using untrimmed Brussels sprouts, trim off the dry part of the stem at the base of the sprout and any loose outer leaves.
For an extra caramelized area, place the sliced Brussels sprouts cut-side down on the pan. This combination will give a larger browned surface area.
Leave smaller sprouts whole to avoid overcooking.
Slice a cross in the stem of smaller sprouts, which don't require halving (refer to the video). The stem is the toughest part of the Brussels sprout, and the cross allows them to cook at the same rate as the tender area.
For an extra kick of flavor, try adding lemon zest before roasting and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving.
Be sure to taste and season well before serving.
