Ingredients
Scale
Gather these ingredients to make your Garlic Parmesan Roasted Brussels Sprouts:
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the Brussels Sprouts:
- Trim and Halve the Brussels Sprouts: Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any outer leaves. Cut them in half lengthwise to ensure they cook evenly.
- Toss with Olive Oil and Seasoning: Place the Brussels sprouts in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then add the minced garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Toss everything together until the Brussels sprouts are evenly coated.
Roast the Brussels Sprouts:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Arrange on a Baking Sheet: Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet, cut side down. This will help them get crispy and caramelized.
- Roast the Brussels Sprouts: Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are golden brown and crispy on the edges, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Add the Finishing Touches:
- Sprinkle with Parmesan: Once the Brussels sprouts are roasted to perfection, remove them from the oven and immediately sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Toss to coat.
- Garnish with Parsley: If desired, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for an added burst of color and freshness.
