Description
A quick and delicious Parmesan Brussels Sprouts recipe featuring tender roasted Brussels sprouts tossed in melted butter, garlic, and grated Parmesan cheese for a flavorful, crispy side dish perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
Brussels Sprouts
- ½ pound (227 g) Brussels sprouts
Seasonings & Toppings
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ⅓ cup (46 g) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon (3 g) garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon (1 g) kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Brussels Sprouts: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Rinse the Brussels sprouts thoroughly, then trim off the stem ends and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Cut the sprouts in half lengthwise to ensure even cooking.
- Toss with Seasonings: In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts with melted butter, olive oil, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat every piece evenly.
- Roast the Brussels Sprouts: Spread the Brussels sprouts out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through to promote even browning and crispiness.
- Add Parmesan Cheese: Remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven once they are golden and crispy on the edges. Immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot sprouts and toss gently to combine while still warm, allowing the cheese to melt slightly and enhance the flavor.
- Serve: Transfer the Parmesan-coated Brussels sprouts to a serving dish and enjoy as a savory side dish alongside your favorite main courses.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet during roasting.
- If you prefer a more intense garlic flavor, add freshly minced garlic along with garlic powder.
- Parmesan cheese can be substituted with Pecorino Romano or Asiago for a different taste profile.
- This dish is best served immediately to enjoy the optimal crisp texture.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated, though texture may soften.
