Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Heat duck fat in a small saucepan over low heat until melted. Set aside. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Combine Brussels sprouts, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a large bowl. Pour melted duck fat over Brussels sprouts and stir to coat evenly. Spread evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until Brussels sprouts are browned and tender, but still slightly firm, 15 to 20 minutes, flipping sprouts halfway through. (15-20 minutes)

05

Step

Top with freshly squeezed lemon juice and serve immediately.

For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of balsamic vinegar or a drizzle of maple syrup after roasting.
Ensure the Brussels sprouts are dry before roasting to promote browning.
Don't overcrowd the baking sheet; roast in batches if necessary for optimal crispiness.
