Looking for a flavorful and healthy side dish? Try these easy roasted balsamic lemon marinated Brussels sprouts. Perfectly marinated for maximum flavor!
Remove the outer dirty outer leaves, then Slice off the bottoms of each brussel sprout, then cut lengthwise.
Combine the balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil, maple syrup, garlic, salt, and pepper.
Put the Brussels sprouts in a ziplock-like bag and pour marinade.
With your hands, massage the bag to ensure all the sprouts are fully covered with the marinade.
Refrigerate and let marinate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Oven
Preheat oven to 425 ºF (218 ºC) for 10 minutes.
Transfer the marinated Brussels sprouts to a lined baking sheet, season with salt and pepper, and roast for 15 minutes flipping halfway after 8 minutes to make sure the heat disperses evenly to all the Brussels sprouts.
Air fryer
Preheat the air fryer to 375 ºF (190 ºC), according to the manufacturer's instructions (for my air fryer, that's 3 minutes of preheating).
Line the basket with parchment paper.
Place the Brussels sprouts face down and turn the air fryer on
Cook for 5 minutes; remove the basket and toss them to ensure even cooking. Cook for another 5 minutes and check to see if the Brussels sprouts are crispy and almost done. If needed, continue cooking for another 2- 4 minutes while frequently checking and shaking the basket to ensure a crispy texture.
