Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper or aluminum foil
- Large bowl
- Measuring spoons
Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic minced
- ½ cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Make sure the sprouts are evenly coated with the seasonings.
- Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded to ensure even browning.
- Roast the Brussels sprouts in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Give them a gentle toss halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the Brussels sprouts. Return the baking sheet to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let the Brussels sprouts cool for a few minutes before serving. The crispy garlic parmesan Brussels sprouts are best enjoyed immediately.
Notes
- Trimming the Brussels sprouts — Make sure to trim the tough ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any discolored outer leaves before halving them. This ensures even cooking and a more appealing presentation.
- Evenly coating the sprouts — Use your hands to toss the Brussels sprouts with the olive oil and seasonings. This allows for better distribution of flavors and ensures each sprout is coated for maximum deliciousness.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet — To achieve crispy Brussels sprouts, make sure they are spread out in a single layer on the baking sheet. Overcrowding can lead to steaming instead of roasting, resulting in less crispy sprouts.
- Adjust the cooking time — Keep an eye on the Brussels sprouts as they roast. Cooking times may vary depending on the size of the sprouts and your oven. Aim for a golden brown color and crispy texture.
- Customize the seasonings — Feel free to experiment with different seasonings to suit your taste. Add smoked paprika for a smoky flavor, or try a sprinkle of lemon zest for a citrusy twist.
