Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (optional)
  • Red pepper flakes (for spicy kick)
  • Crispy bacon bits
  • Fresh rosemary or thyme
  • Toasted pine nuts or slivered almonds
  • Nutritional yeast and plant-based oil (for vegan adaptation)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brussels sprouts: Start by trimming the stem ends and removing any yellow or wilted outer leaves. Cut each sprout in half to ensure they roast evenly and crisp up beautifully.
  2. Toss with garlic and olive oil: In a large bowl, combine the cut Brussels sprouts with minced garlic and olive oil. Season generously with salt and pepper. Toss everything together until the sprouts are thoroughly coated.
  3. Roast the sprouts: Spread the Brussels sprouts evenly on a baking sheet in a single layer, cut side down. Roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20 to 25 minutes until they are golden brown, crispy on the edges, and tender inside.
  4. Add Parmesan and finish roasting: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the sprouts. Return to the oven and roast for an additional 3 to 5 minutes until the cheese melts and forms a delectable crust.
  5. Optional final touches: If desired, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the finished dish for a fresh, zesty finish. Serve warm and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Choose fresh, small to medium-sized Brussels sprouts for best flavor and even roasting.
  • Cut sprouts evenly to ensure consistent cooking and crispy edges.
  • Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet to allow hot air circulation for maximum crispiness.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese rather than pre-shredded for better melt and flavor.
  • Watch roasting time carefully to avoid burning the garlic, which can turn bitter.
  • Reheat leftovers in an oven or skillet to maintain crispiness; avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.
  • Frozen Brussels sprouts can be used but should be fully thawed and dried before roasting.
