- Arrange the seasoned sprouts onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading them in a single layer without overcrowding to promote optimal roasting and crispy edges.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and roast for approximately 25-30 minutes, watching for a rich golden-brown transformation and caramelized exterior.
