Ingredients
Scale
Roasted Brussels Sprouts
- 16 oz (450g) Brussels sprouts, rinsed
- 3 tablespoons olive oil (or melted butter)
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400ºF (200ºC) and position the rack in the middle to ensure even cooking.
- Prepare Brussels Sprouts: Trim the bottom stems of the Brussels sprouts. Cut each sprout in half lengthwise; leave smaller sprouts whole to maintain uniform size for even roasting.
- Season Sprouts: Pat the Brussels sprouts dry using paper towels and place them in a large mixing bowl. Add olive oil, Italian seasoning, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, kosher salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Toss gently to coat all pieces evenly.
- Arrange for Roasting: Lightly oil a rimmed baking sheet or line it with parchment paper (optional). Spread the Brussels sprouts out in a single layer with the cut sides facing down to achieve caramelized, crispy edges.
- Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, adjusting time depending on your oven. The Brussels sprouts should be tender inside and golden brown with crispy, caramelized edges.
- Serve: Transfer the roasted Brussels sprouts to a serving bowl. Optionally, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for color and extra flavor. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Cut Brussels sprouts into similar sizes to ensure even cooking and texture.
- Keep oven fully preheated before roasting to get a nice sear on the cut sides.
- Adding chopped cooked bacon or sweet potato cubes can enhance flavor and turn this side dish into a more substantial option.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheat in the oven at 370ºF (190ºC) for 5-10 minutes.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for best flavor and melting; pre-grated cheese can also be used but may not crisp as well.
- Frozen Brussels sprouts can be used but require adjusting cooking time and drying well before roasting to avoid sogginess.
