Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

1.5 lbs fresh Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved
3 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin preferred
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese finely grated
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
1/4 teaspoon salt or to taste
Pinch red pepper flakes optional
1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped, for garnish (optional)

Equipment

Large baking sheet
- Parchment Paper
Large mixing bowl
Spatula

Method

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Wash the Brussels sprouts, trim the tough ends, remove any loose outer leaves, and cut each sprout in half lengthwise (quarter larger ones).

In a large mixing bowl, combine the trimmed Brussels sprouts with the olive oil. Toss well until all sprouts are lightly coated.
1.5 lbs fresh Brussels sprouts, 3 tablespoons olive oil
Add the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt (and red pepper flakes, if using). Toss thoroughly until the Brussels sprouts are evenly coated with the cheese and spices.

Spread the seasoned Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Place cut-side down for best crisping.
Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender on the inside with deep golden-brown, crispy edges. Halfway through, give them a gentle toss and flip.
Remove from oven. If desired, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately while warm and crispy.

Notes

For an extra touch of flavor, a squeeze of lemon juice after roasting brightens the dish. Ensure sprouts are completely dry before seasoning for maximum crispness!
