Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for roasting the brussels sprouts to crispy perfection.
- Prepare Brussels Sprouts: Wash the brussels sprouts thoroughly, trim the stems, and halve them evenly to promote uniform cooking.
- Toss with Oil and Seasonings: In a large bowl, combine the halved brussels sprouts with olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss until the sprouts are evenly coated.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the brussels sprouts out in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow maximum crispiness.
- Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, shaking the pan or stirring halfway through to ensure even browning until they are golden brown and tender.
- Add Butter and Parmesan: Remove the baking sheet from the oven, drizzle the melted butter over the roasted sprouts, and sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese evenly on top.
- Final Roast: Return the baking sheet to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes to melt the parmesan cheese slightly, enhancing the flavor and texture.
- Serve Warm: Transfer the parmesan brussels sprouts to a serving dish and enjoy immediately while hot and crispy.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, use a convection oven or broil for the last 1-2 minutes while watching carefully to avoid burning.
- Customize seasoning by adding red pepper flakes for a spicy kick or lemon zest for brightness.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven to retain crispness.
- To make this recipe vegan, substitute parmesan cheese with vegan parmesan and use a plant-based butter alternative.
