Ingredients

Scale

Brussels Sprouts

  • 2 pounds Brussels sprouts (trimmed and halved)

Seasoning & Toppings

  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic (roughly cut into 45 pieces each)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 475 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for high-temperature roasting that will crisp the Brussels sprouts nicely.
  2. Prepare Brussels Sprouts and Garlic: Trim and halve the Brussels sprouts, then transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Roughly cut the garlic cloves into 4 to 5 pieces each and add them into the bowl with the Brussels sprouts.
  3. Add Butter and Oil: Drizzle the melted butter and olive oil over the Brussels sprouts and garlic. Season with salt and black pepper. Toss everything together thoroughly to ensure even coating.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a 4-sided baking sheet to allow for even roasting and caramelization.
  5. Roast Brussels Sprouts: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 20 to 25 minutes until the sprouts are tender and nicely browned. Stir or shake the pan halfway through if desired for even cooking.
  6. Add Parmesan Cheese: In the last 5 minutes of roasting, sprinkle the freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the Brussels sprouts. Return to the oven to allow the cheese to melt slightly and add a savory finish.
  7. Serve Hot: Remove from the oven and serve immediately while hot for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet.
  • Use fresh garlic for a robust flavor; roasted garlic becomes mild and sweet.
  • Parmesan cheese can be substituted with Pecorino Romano for a sharper taste.
  • Leftovers can be reheated in a skillet to retain crispiness.
  • Can be made ahead by prepping the sprouts and seasoning, then roasting just before serving.
