Instructions
- Heat your oven to precisely 400F, creating the perfect roasting environment for crispy Brussels sprouts.
- Slice each Brussels sprout in half, revealing their beautiful inner layers and ensuring even cooking.
- Mince 3 cloves of garlic into tiny, fragrant pieces that will infuse incredible flavor throughout the dish.
- Pour 3 tablespoons of olive oil into a large mixing bowl, preparing to coat every sprout evenly.
- Add the halved Brussels sprouts, minced garlic, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper to the bowl.
- Toss the ingredients thoroughly, ensuring each sprout glistens with oil and seasoning.
- Spread the Brussels sprouts cut-side down on a rimmed baking sheet, allowing maximum caramelization.
- Roast at 400F for exactly 22 minutes, watching for golden-brown edges and crispy surfaces.
- Sprinkle ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese over the roasted sprouts, covering them completely.
- Return the pan to the oven for an additional 3 minutes, letting the cheese melt and turn slightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes before serving to allow the cheese to set perfectly.
Notes
- Choose small, compact Brussels sprouts for the best texture and even roasting.
- Cut larger sprouts in half to ensure consistent cooking and crispy edges.
- Pat the sprouts completely dry before seasoning to help them achieve a crisp, golden-brown exterior.
- For a dairy-free version, swap Parmesan with nutritional yeast or omit the cheese entirely for a lighter side dish.
