This easy-to-make recipe highlights the natural sweetness and nuttiness of Brussels sprouts, enhanced with aromatic garlic and a touch of heat from red pepper flakes, making it a perfect addition to any meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Brussels Sprouts

  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

Seasoning & Flavor

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a bit of heat)

Finishing Touches

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), ensuring it reaches the correct temperature before roasting begins for even cooking.
  2. Prepare Brussels Sprouts: Rinse the Brussels sprouts thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry completely to avoid excess moisture that can hinder roasting.
  3. Trim and Halve: Trim the ends of each Brussels sprout and cut them in half lengthwise to promote even roasting and caramelization.
  4. Combine with Olive Oil: In a large mixing bowl, add the halved Brussels sprouts and drizzle with olive oil to coat them evenly.
  5. Add Garlic: Incorporate the minced garlic into the bowl to infuse the sprouts with its aromatic flavor.
  6. Season: Sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes for a subtle heat element.
  7. Toss to Coat: Thoroughly mix all ingredients until the Brussels sprouts are well coated with oil and seasonings, ensuring maximum flavor.
  8. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a large baking sheet to ensure they roast evenly without steaming.
  9. Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, tossing the sprouts halfway through to promote even browning.
  10. Monitor for Crispiness: In the final minutes, watch closely to ensure the Brussels sprouts become golden brown and crispy without burning.
  11. Add Parmesan Cheese: Remove the sprouts from the oven and immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top while they are still hot.
  12. Toss Gently: Toss the Brussels sprouts gently to distribute the Parmesan cheese evenly throughout the dish.
  13. Serve: Transfer the Garlic Parmesan Brussels sprouts to a serving dish.
  14. Garnish: Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top for a fresh, vibrant finish.
  15. Enjoy: Serve warm as a delicious side dish or a main vegetarian course.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, spread Brussels sprouts out so they aren’t touching on the baking sheet.
  • Red pepper flakes are optional but add a nice mild heat that complements the garlic and Parmesan.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor and melting quality.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and enjoyed within 3 days; reheat in the oven for best texture.
  • Brussels sprouts can be substituted with other small, dense vegetables like halved baby cauliflower or broccolini if desired.
