This baked Brussels sprouts recipe with cheese transforms humble veggies into a show-stopping side dish with crispy edges, gooey cheese, and a hint of garlic flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb fresh Brussels sprouts, halved
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Trim the ends off your Brussels sprouts and slice them in half lengthwise. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Drizzle the Brussels sprouts with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then sprinkle 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ¼ teaspoon of black pepper. Toss until everything is evenly coated.
  4. Spread the seasoned Brussels sprouts evenly on your prepared baking sheet, cut side down. This ensures maximum caramelization.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking. You’ll know they’re ready when the edges are crispy and golden brown.
  6. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle 1 cup of grated cheddar cheese evenly over the Brussels sprouts. If you’re using breadcrumbs and paprika, sprinkle them on top of the cheese for extra crunch and flavor.
  7. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Take the sprouts out of the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Sprinkle with a pinch of fresh parsley for a pop of color, if desired.

Notes

[‘Don’t overcrowd the pan to ensure even roasting.’, ‘Slice the Brussels sprouts evenly for consistent cooking.’, ‘Use freshly grated cheese for better melting and flavor.’, ‘Broil for 1-2 minutes at the end for extra crispiness.’, ‘Feel free to experiment with seasonings or add extras like bacon or caramelized onions.’]
