This recipe delivers perfectly golden-edged, crispy Brussels sprouts coated with nutty Parmesan cheese, making a delicious and easy side dish that’s quick to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450 grams) Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ cup (50 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • ¾ teaspoon (4 grams) salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (optional)
  • Lemon zest from one lemon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Trim the stem ends and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves from the Brussels sprouts. Cut each sprout in half lengthwise.
  3. Toss the sprouts in a mixing bowl with olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Spread the sprouts cut-side down in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, ensuring they have space to avoid steaming.
  5. Roast for 15 minutes, then flip each sprout using a spatula or tongs.
  6. Return to the oven and roast for another 10-12 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the sprouts and roast for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts and toasts slightly.
  8. Optionally, zest a lemon over the sprouts before serving and adjust salt to taste.

Notes

For extra crispiness, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end but watch closely to avoid burning. Use fresh Parmesan for best melting and flavor. Avoid crowding the pan to prevent steaming. Dry sprouts thoroughly before roasting. For a vegan version, substitute Parmesan with nutritional yeast or vegan Parmesan alternatives.
