Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated

Equipment

  • 1 Baking sheet
  • 1 Large Bowl

Instructions
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash, trim the ends, and halve the Brussels sprouts lengthwise.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Spread the sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan. Roast for 20-25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until tender and crispy.
  5. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Toss to combine and serve hot.

Notes

For Extra Crispy Sprouts: Ensure your oven is fully preheated and do not overcrowd the pan. Giving the sprouts space is key to roasting, not steaming.
Ingredient Tip: Use a block of Parmesan and grate it yourself. It melts better and has a much richer flavor than pre-shredded varieties.
