Description
A simple and delicious recipe for crispy roasted Brussels sprouts, perfect as a healthy side dish. Roasting brings out a wonderful caramelized flavor, enhanced by olive oil, garlic powder, and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese for extra richness.
Ingredients
Scale
Brussels Sprouts
- 1 1/2 – 2 pounds Brussels sprouts
Seasonings
- 4 tablespoons good olive oil
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder (optional)
Topping
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s hot enough to roast the Brussels sprouts to a crispy perfection.
- Prep: Trim the Brussels sprouts by cutting off the brown ends and removing any yellow or dry outer leaves. Then slice each Brussels sprout in half lengthwise for even roasting.
- Toss: Place the halved Brussels sprouts in a large bowl. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, then sprinkle with kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and garlic powder if desired. Toss everything together until the Brussels sprouts are evenly coated.
- Roast: Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a large baking sheet lightly greased with olive oil or cooking spray. Place in the oven and roast for 35 to 45 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the sprouts are crisp on the outside and tender inside.
- Season: Once roasted, taste and add more kosher salt if needed to enhance the flavors.
- Serve: Serve the Brussels sprouts warm, sprinkled generously with grated Parmesan cheese for a savory finish.
Notes
- Make sure to slice the Brussels sprouts evenly for consistent roasting.
- Use fresh Parmesan for the best flavor and texture.
- Adjust roasting time depending on your oven and desired crispiness.
- Optional garlic powder adds a nice savory note, but can be omitted for a simpler taste.
- For an extra crispy texture, you can increase olive oil by 1 tablespoon.
