Vegetables and Fresh Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Seasonings and Oils
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika (optional)
Cheese
- â…“ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Extra Parmesan cheese for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and enhance crispiness.
- Toss Brussels Sprouts with Seasonings: In a large bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Toss thoroughly to ensure each sprout is evenly coated with the flavorful mixture.
- Arrange for Roasting: Spread the coated Brussels sprouts cut side down in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even cooking and browning.
- Roast until Crispy: Roast in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping the sprouts halfway through the cooking time to achieve golden brown, crispy edges and tender interiors.
- Add Parmesan Cheese: Remove the sprouts from the oven while still hot, immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over them, and toss gently to coat with the melted cheese.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley and additional Parmesan if desired. Serve the Brussels sprouts warm as a delicious side dish.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, use a preheated baking sheet before adding the Brussels sprouts.
- A squeeze of fresh lemon juice added just before serving brightens the flavor and adds a refreshing contrast.
