INGREDIENTS

2 large chicken drumsticks

1.5 cups Brussels sprouts

0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp onion powder

0.25 tsp smoked paprika

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

• 2

  Trim the woody ends off the Brussels sprouts and slice each one in half lengthwise.

• 3

  Pat the chicken drumsticks thoroughly dry with a paper towel to ensure the skin achieves maximum crispiness during roasting.

• 4

  In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts and chicken drumsticks.

• 5

  Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle the sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika over the top.

• 6

  Toss everything together until the chicken and vegetables are evenly coated in the oil and spices.

• 7

  Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure the Brussels sprouts are cut-side down for better caramelization.

• 8

  Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken reaching an internal temperature of 165°F and the sprouts are tender and charred on the edges.

• 9

  Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to keep the meat juicy.
