Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional, for drizzling)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Prepare the Brussels sprouts: In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well coated.
- Roast: Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, cut side down for extra crispiness.
- Bake: Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the sprouts are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Add Parmesan: Remove from the oven, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, and return to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
- Serve: Drizzle with balsamic vinegar if desired, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.
Notes
- For extra crispy Brussels sprouts, don’t overcrowd the baking sheet. Use two sheets if needed.
- Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
- You can swap Parmesan for Pecorino Romano for a bolder flavor.
