Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- ½ pound (227 g) Brussels sprouts
Seasonings & Fats
- 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
- Prepare the Brussels sprouts: Rinse the Brussels sprouts under cold water to clean them thoroughly, then trim off the stem ends and halve each Brussels sprout lengthwise to ensure even cooking.
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to fully preheat, which creates the ideal environment for roasting the Brussels sprouts to a crispy golden finish.
- 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. Stir well to evenly coat all the pieces with the flavorful mixture.
- Roast the Brussels sprouts: Spread the seasoned Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet. Place them in the preheated oven and roast for 20 minutes. At the 10-minute mark, toss the Brussels sprouts to promote even browning and crispiness.
- Add Parmesan cheese: Once roasted, remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the hot Brussels sprouts, allowing the cheese to melt slightly into the warm vegetables for an added savory touch.
- Serve: Transfer the Parmesan-coated Brussels sprouts to a serving dish and enjoy this delicious side dish immediately, while hot and flavorful.
Notes
- For an extra crispy texture, broil the Brussels sprouts for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end of roasting, keeping a close watch to prevent burning.
- A squeeze of fresh lemon juice added before serving brightens the flavors and adds a pleasant tang.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain the crispy texture rather than microwaving.
