Instructions
1. Kick off the culinary magic by preheating your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Always have your stage set when creating a masterpiece!
As the oven warms up, toss together your sprouts, minced garlic, turmeric, and olive oil in a bowl. Mix until everything is evenly coated, like a blanket of flavor wrapped around every sprout.
Spread them out evenly on a large baking sheet. They should not overlap, as space is essential to achieving the beautifully caramelized edges that take these sprouts to the stratosphere of yumminess.
Sprinkle a dash of sea salt and a generous grind of black pepper over the sprouts.
Slide them into the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are crispy, browned, and irresistibly aromatic.

Nutritional Information
Our Garlic Turmeric Roasted Brussels Sprouts are not simply an explosion of flavors, but a powerhouse of nutrients as well.

Tips and Tricks
For an extra crunch, toss in some crushed almonds or walnuts. For a zesty tang, squeeze a bit of fresh lemon juice over the sprouts before serving. And remember: the key to maximum flavor is to ensure your sprouts are quite dry before you start. Any water left could steam them instead of roasting, reducing the glorious caramelization we aim for.
