Anleitungen
Preheat the oven to 200°C or 440°F.
Wash the Brussels sprouts, cut back the stalk, slice the florets in half and remove the outer leaves. (Usually, the outer leaves will fall off on their own.) Place the sprout on a baking sheet.
In a bowl, add the oil, vinegar, honey and mustard. Wash the lemon thoroughly and add the zest of the whole lemon* to the marinade. (Only zest the yellow and not the white part of your lemon.) Then halve the lemon and add about a teaspoon of lemon juice to the marinade as well.
Peel and finely mince the garlic and add it to the bowl. Season with salt and pepper and mix well. Then drizzle the marinade over your Brussels sprouts.
Grate the parmesan cheese and sprinkle it over the Brussels sprouts as well as the breadcrumbs. Give it a toss and roast the sprouts at 200°C or 400°F for about 20 minutes or until they are nicely crispy.

Estimated Cost: 2,44 € (0,61 € per serving) based on current food prices in Germany.*If using a large lemon, take only half of the zest.**You can use Pecorino cheese instead of Parmesan cheese. If you don’t have none of both on hand or what to make this recipe vegan, simply omit it and use a little more breadcrumbs and salt instead.***You can also use Panko breadcrumbs. These are the Japanese version of breadcrumbs, which are slightly coarser and can be found in the deli/Asia section of grocery stores.
