Description

Garlic Parmesan Brussels Sprouts is a flavorful and healthy side dish featuring crispy roasted Brussels sprouts tossed with minced garlic, olive oil, and a generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Perfectly seasoned with salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes for a subtle kick, this easy recipe is a delicious addition to any meal.

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

Seasonings and Oils

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a bit of heat)

Cheese and Garnish

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s ready for roasting the Brussels sprouts evenly.
  2. Clean the Brussels sprouts: Rinse the Brussels sprouts under cold water and pat them dry thoroughly with a kitchen towel or paper towels to avoid steaming during roasting.
  3. Trim and halve: Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and cut each one in half lengthwise for even cooking and caramelization.
  4. Combine with oil: Place the halved Brussels sprouts in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, coating each piece generously.
  5. Add garlic: Add the minced garlic to the bowl, distributing it evenly for maximum flavor infusion.
  6. Season: Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes if you desire a bit of heat. Mix thoroughly.
  7. Toss to coat: Toss all ingredients in the bowl to ensure the Brussels sprouts are evenly coated with oil, garlic, and seasonings.
  8. Arrange on baking sheet: Spread the Brussels sprouts out in a single layer on a large baking sheet to promote even roasting and crispness.
  9. Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes, making sure to toss the Brussels sprouts halfway through roasting for even browning.
  10. Monitor doneness: Check during the last few minutes to ensure the Brussels sprouts turn golden brown and crispy without burning.
  11. Add Parmesan: Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the hot Brussels sprouts.
  12. Toss the cheese in: Gently toss the Brussels sprouts to coat them with the melted Parmesan for a savory finish.
  13. Transfer to serving dish: Move the cheesy Brussels sprouts to a serving dish, preparing them for garnish.
  14. Garnish with parsley: Sprinkle 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley on top to add freshness and color.
  15. Serve warm: Serve the Garlic Parmesan Brussels Sprouts warm as a delicious side dish or a light vegetarian main dish.

Notes

  • Make sure Brussels sprouts are thoroughly dried before roasting to achieve maximum crispiness.
  • Red pepper flakes are optional; adjust according to your heat preference.
  • For a nuttier flavor, you can substitute Parmesan with Pecorino Romano cheese.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven to restore crispness.
  • This dish pairs excellently with roasted meats, grilled chicken, or as part of a vegetarian meal.
