A recipe for roasting Brussels sprouts until they are deeply browned and crispy, finished with Parmesan cheese for flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb Brussels sprouts
  • 3 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
  2. Prepare the Brussels sprouts by trimming off the stem ends and removing any loose or yellow outer leaves.
  3. Cut the sprouts in half lengthwise.
  4. Dry the sprouts thoroughly using paper towels. This step is key for crispiness.
  5. In a large bowl, toss the halved sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  6. Spread the sprouts in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary.
  7. Roast for 20 minutes.
  8. Remove the pan from the oven. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese (and minced garlic, if using) evenly over the sprouts.
  9. Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the sprouts are tender inside and the cheese is melted and browned.
  10. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For maximum crispiness, ensure the cut sides of the sprouts face down on the baking sheet during the initial roasting period.
  • If the sprouts are very large, consider quartering them instead of halving them.
  • If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, mix the minced garlic with the oil before tossing with the sprouts.
