Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to fully heat while you prepare the Brussels sprouts.
- Toss Brussels sprouts with garlic and oil: In a large bowl, combine the trimmed and halved Brussels sprouts with minced garlic and olive oil. Stir well to ensure each sprout is evenly coated with the garlic-infused oil.
- Season: Sprinkle salt and freshly ground black pepper over the Brussels sprouts to taste, mixing again to distribute the seasoning evenly.
- Arrange on a baking sheet: Spread the Brussels sprouts out in a single layer on a baking sheet to ensure even roasting and crisping.
- Roast the Brussels sprouts: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, shaking or stirring halfway through to promote even cooking and browning. Roast until crispy on the outside and tender inside.
- Add Parmesan cheese: Remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven and immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot sprouts, allowing it to melt slightly and add a savory finish.
- Serve: Transfer the roasted Brussels sprouts to a serving dish and enjoy them hot as a delicious side dish perfect for any meal.
Notes
- Trimming and halving the Brussels sprouts ensures even cooking and better caramelization.
- Use freshly minced garlic for the best flavor; garlic powder can be substituted but will yield a different taste.
- Feel free to add a squeeze of lemon juice after roasting for a bright, fresh contrast.
- Parmesan cheese can be substituted with Pecorino Romano for a sharper flavor.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best texture.
