Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (about 50g), finely grated
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Trim the stem ends and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves from the Brussels sprouts. Slice each sprout in half lengthwise.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved sprouts with minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Arrange the sprouts cut-side down in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Roast for 20 minutes, flipping the sprouts halfway through at 10 minutes, until the bottoms are deep golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the baking sheet briefly, sprinkle the grated Parmesan evenly over the sprouts, then return to the oven for another 5 minutes to crisp the cheese.
- Optionally, broil for 1-2 minutes to achieve extra crispiness, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh cracked pepper or parsley if desired.
Notes
Add Parmesan cheese only in the last 5 minutes of roasting to prevent burning. Use fresh minced garlic for best flavor and avoid burning by adding garlic halfway through roasting if needed. For a vegan option, substitute Parmesan with nutritional yeast and use plant-based oil like avocado or coconut oil. To reheat leftovers, warm in a 375°F oven for 10 minutes to restore crispiness. Avoid microwaving to keep texture.
