Ingredients
Scale
Brussels Sprouts
- ½ pound (227 g) Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
Seasonings and Add-ins
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- â…“ cup (46 g) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon (3 g) garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon (1 g) kosher salt
- â…› teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for crispy roasted Brussels sprouts.
- Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and slice them in half lengthwise for even roasting.
- Toss with Oil and Seasonings: In a large bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Toss evenly to coat all the pieces.
- Roast the Brussels Sprouts: Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. Roast for 20–25 minutes, shaking the pan or flipping halfway through, until they are tender and golden brown on the edges.
- Add Butter and Parmesan: Remove the roasted Brussels sprouts from the oven and immediately drizzle with melted butter. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top and toss gently to combine while still warm, allowing the cheese to melt slightly.
- Serve Warm: Transfer the Parmesan Brussels sprouts to a serving dish and enjoy as a perfect side for any main course.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to allow even roasting.
- You can substitute Parmesan with Pecorino Romano for a sharper flavor.
- Adding a squeeze of lemon juice before serving brightens the flavors.
- These Brussels sprouts can also be cooked in an air fryer at 375°F for 15 minutes, shaking halfway through.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
