Print Recipe

A quick and easy side dish featuring crispy roasted Brussels sprouts infused with garlic and topped with a savory Parmesan crust. Perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (preferably extra virgin)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced finely
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (about 50 g), freshly grated if possible
  • ½ teaspoon salt (sea salt or kosher salt works well)
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Optional: zest of 1 lemon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Trim the stem ends and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves from the Brussels sprouts. Slice each sprout in half lengthwise.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange the sprouts cut side down in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Use two pans if necessary to avoid crowding.
  5. Roast for 20 minutes, flipping the sprouts halfway through (around 10 minutes) using tongs or a spatula.
  6. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan evenly over the sprouts and roast for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese melts and crisps.
  7. Optional: zest a lemon over the top once out of the oven for a bright finish.
  8. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.

Notes

To avoid burnt garlic, add minced garlic halfway through roasting instead of at the start. Do not crowd the pan to ensure crispiness. Freshly grated Parmesan crisps better than pre-grated. For vegan version, substitute Parmesan with nutritional yeast and use plant-based oil. Leftovers can be reheated in the oven at 400°F for 5-7 minutes to re-crisp.
