Cheesy Ranch Brussels Sprouts

Today’s recipe is one I debated even sharing.

Not because it isn’t delicious. Because it sure as heck is.

But rather because it’s so darn simple. Do we really need another brussels sprouts recipe out here on the internet?

These Cheesy Ranch Brussels Sprouts are so good that I determined that yes, in fact, we do. We need these in our lives. I couldn’t keep them from you all.

Recipes like this are a weeknight staple for us. Despite being a food blogger, I tend to keep our everyday meals on the simple side. Usually a protein, starch, and a veggie. Very basic. Very simple. BUT also delicious. That’s the number one requirement.

These crispy cheesy brussels are the perfect side accompaniment to just about any main dish. They are salty, tangy, cheesy, and have the most amazing texture. There isn’t much better than a crispy roasted brussel sprout!

I love the combination of flavors here: tangy ranch seasoning, garlic salt, and fresh lemon. The fresh lemon zest really brightens these up. Spritzing them with a little fresh lemon juice seals the deal on deliciousness here. I promise you: the lemon makes these!

On top of being freaking delicious, they’re also really, really easy to make. Let’s get into it.
