Crispy Parmesan Brussels Sprouts

Say goodbye to boring, mushy Brussels sprouts! This recipe transforms them into irresistibly crispy, savory bites that even the biggest sprout skeptics will adore. The secret? High heat and a generous dusting of Parmesan. Get ready for your new favorite side dish!

Ingredients

Yield: 4 servings

Main

  • 1 ½ lbs Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ⅛ tsp black pepper

Preparation

  1. Step 1

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

  2. Step 2

    In a large bowl, toss the trimmed and halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

  3. Step 3

    Spread the seasoned Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, cut-side down if possible. This helps them get nice and crispy.

  4. Step 4

    Roast for 15 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the sprouts, and toss gently to coat.

  5. Step 5

    Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for another 5-10 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are tender-crisp, deeply golden, and the Parmesan is melted and slightly crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

  6. Step 6

    Serve hot immediately as a delicious side dish.

Tips

  • For extra crispy sprouts, ensure they are completely dry before tossing with oil.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet! If necessary, use two sheets to ensure proper browning and crisping.
  • A drizzle of balsamic glaze or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice after roasting can add an extra layer of flavor.
