Here’s a crispy, savory side that’s simple and packed with flavor 🧄🧀
🥦 Roasted Garlic Parmesan Brussels Sprouts
🛒 Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2–3 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Optional: red pepper flakes or a squeeze of lemon juice
👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- In a large bowl, toss Brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Spread cut-side down on the baking sheet for best caramelization.
- Roast 20–25 minutes, until tender and browned.
- Sprinkle Parmesan over the sprouts and return to oven for 3–5 minutes until melted and slightly crispy.
- Finish with lemon juice or red pepper flakes if desired.
🔥 For Extra Crispiness
- Roast at 425°F for deeper browning.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan.
- Broil 1–2 minutes at the end (watch closely!).
🧀 Flavor Variations
- Add balsamic glaze after roasting.
- Toss in crispy bacon bits.
- Swap Parmesan for Pecorino Romano.
- Make it dairy-free with nutritional yeast.
If you’d like, I can give you an air fryer version, a honey garlic twist, or a holiday-style upgrade 😊
