Here’s a simple and delicious Parmesan Brussels Sprouts recipe—crispy, savory, and full of flavor. 🥬🧀
Ingredients
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 2–3 tbsp olive oil
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp garlic powder (optional)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Optional: 1–2 tsp balsamic glaze for drizzling
Instructions
1. Preheat oven
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Brussels sprouts
- Trim the stem ends and remove any yellow or damaged leaves.
- Cut each sprout in half.
3. Season
- Toss Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using).
- Spread evenly on the baking sheet, cut side down.
4. Roast
- Roast 20–25 minutes until golden brown and tender, stirring halfway through.
5. Add Parmesan
- Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the Brussels sprouts and return to oven for 2–3 minutes until melted and slightly crispy.
6. Serve
- Optional: drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving for a sweet tang.
- Serve hot as a side dish with roasted meats, chicken, or pasta.
💡 Tips
- For extra crispiness, broil for the last 1–2 minutes.
- Add toasted pine nuts or chopped bacon for texture and flavor.
- Substitute Parmesan with Pecorino Romano for a sharper taste.
If you want, I can also give a skillet version where Brussels sprouts are pan-fried with garlic and Parmesan—ready in about 15 minutes.
