Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 500 grams (about 1 pound) Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
Seasonings
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
Cheese
- 100 grams (about 1 cup) grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) to prepare for roasting the Brussels sprouts.
- Prepare Brussels Sprouts: Rinse the Brussels sprouts under cold water to clean them. Trim the stem ends and cut each sprout in half lengthwise to ensure even cooking.
- Season the Brussels Sprouts: In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic powder, black pepper, and sea salt. Toss well to evenly coat each sprout with the seasonings.
- Add Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the seasoned Brussels sprouts and toss again to distribute the cheese evenly, which will form a crispy crust during roasting.
- Arrange and Roast: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the Brussels sprouts out in a single layer, placing them cut side down for optimal browning. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to cook evenly and ensure a crispy texture.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly for a few minutes. Serve warm as a flavorful and crispy side dish.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, make sure the Brussels sprouts are spread in a single layer and not crowded on the baking sheet.
- Using fresh Parmesan cheese grated at home will yield better flavor and texture compared to pre-grated cheese.
- You can add a squeeze of lemon juice or sprinkle some red pepper flakes after roasting for a flavor twist.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat in the oven to restore crispiness.
