Description
Crispy roasted Brussels sprouts infused with garlic and topped with a savory Parmesan crust, perfect as a quick and flavorful side dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (about 50g)
- ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Trim off the tough ends and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves from the Brussels sprouts. Cut each sprout in half lengthwise.
- Toss the Brussels sprouts in a mixing bowl with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well coated.
- Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, cut side down.
- Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping the sprouts halfway through with tongs or a spatula, until golden brown and crispy on the edges but tender inside.
- Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan and optional lemon zest.
- Serve warm, adjusting seasoning with extra salt or pepper if needed.
Notes
Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. Add garlic halfway through roasting if worried about burning. Fresh Parmesan melts better than pre-grated. Leftovers reheat best in a skillet or air fryer to maintain crispness.
