Ingredients
Scale
Brussels Sprouts
- 16 ounces (450 grams) Brussels sprouts, halved, trimmed, and rinsed
Seasoning & Toppings
- 3 tbsp olive oil (or melted butter)
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper if you prefer easier cleanup.
- Prepare Brussels Sprouts. Pat dry the halved, trimmed, and rinsed Brussels sprouts to remove excess moisture and place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Toss with Seasonings. Add the olive oil, Italian seasoning, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, kosher salt, and cracked black pepper to the Brussels sprouts. Toss thoroughly until each sprout is evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet. Spread the coated Brussels sprouts out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even roasting and crispiness.
- Roast. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the Brussels sprouts for 25-30 minutes, until they turn golden brown and become crispy on the edges.
- Serve. Remove from the oven and serve the roasted Brussels sprouts hot. Optionally garnish with fresh parsley for added color and flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute olive oil with melted butter for a richer flavor.
- Adjust Parmesan cheese quantity according to your preference or use a vegetarian Parmesan alternative to make this dish vegetarian.
- Ensure Brussels sprouts are dry before roasting to get maximum crispiness.
- Fresh parsley garnish is optional but adds a fresh color contrast.
- For spicier kick, add a pinch of red chili flakes before roasting.
