Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Optional Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it is hot enough for roasting the Brussels sprouts evenly and crisping them beautifully.
- Toss Brussels Sprouts: In a large bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Toss until all sprouts are evenly coated with the seasoning and oil.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even cooking.
- Roast the Brussels Sprouts: Roast in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring once halfway through to promote even browning, until the sprouts are golden and crispy on the edges.
- Add Parmesan Cheese: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot Brussels sprouts. Toss gently to coat the sprouts evenly with the melted cheese.
- Finish and Garnish: Drizzle the roasted Brussels sprouts with balsamic vinegar if using, and garnish with fresh parsley for added color and flavor. Serve hot for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, place the Brussels sprouts cut-side down on the baking sheet before roasting.
- Add red pepper flakes to the seasoning mixture for a spicy kick.
- Parmesan cheese can be substituted with Pecorino Romano for a saltier flavor profile.
