Ingredients
Scale
Brussels Sprouts
- 1 1/2 pounds fresh Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
Seasoning
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Toppings
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Optional: 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze for drizzling
- Optional: Extra Parmesan for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for roasting.
- Toss Brussels Sprouts: In a large bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss until each sprout is evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Arrange for Roasting: Spread the coated Brussels sprouts cut side down on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Roast Sprouts: Bake in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping the sprouts halfway through the cooking time so both sides develop a golden, crispy exterior.
- Add Parmesan Cheese: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the roasted Brussels sprouts evenly with the freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
- Melt Cheese: Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the Parmesan to melt slightly and adhere to the sprouts.
- Serve and Garnish: Serve the Brussels sprouts warm. Optionally drizzle with balsamic glaze and sprinkle with extra Parmesan cheese for added flavor and presentation.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, ensure the Brussels sprouts are completely dry before tossing with oil and seasoning.
- To add a spicy kick, sprinkle red pepper flakes before roasting.
- For a smoky flavor, toss the sprouts with crumbled bacon before serving.
