This simple recipe once again proves that vegetables can be not only healthy but also incredibly delicious. The flavors of thyme, paprika powder, and fresh garlic perfectly complement the tender texture of Brussels sprouts, while the crispy browning in the oven is an irresistible temptation.
The option to top the Brussels sprouts with vegan Parmesan adds an extra flavor note that will convince even non-vegans. Find more side dish recipes from me here.
