Easy Parmesan Brussel Sprouts
If you think you’re not a fan of Brussels sprouts, then you’ve never had them roasted. I used to think I hated them, but then I tried Parmesan Brussel sprouts and, after the first bite, realized I am a fan.
What makes them so special? It’s all about the roasting. Brussels sprouts are bitter, but when you cook them until they’re golden and crispy on the outside and soft and tender on the inside, they turn into sweet bites. Roasting brings out the natural sweetness – they taste amazing!
Roasted Brussel sprouts with Parmesan are so easy – the perfect recipe if you’ve never roasted sprouts before. I’m sharing all of my best tips, so they turn out perfectly every time. Once you start making them this way, you’ll never want them another way again!
Ingredients Needed
- Brussels sprouts trimmed and cut in half (if they are large, cut them in thirds)
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- Onion powder
- Garlic powder
- Grated Parmesan cheese
How to Make Parmesan Brussel Sprouts
- Coat a rimmed sheet pan with cooking spray.
- Place the sprouts in a bowl and add the olive oil, seasonings, and cheese. Toss to coat them evenly.
- Place them on the baking sheet cut side down, and roast them for 30 minutes at 400°F. Stir them once or twice during cooking so they roast evenly.
Storing Instructions
Store leftover roasted Brussel sprouts in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will keep well for three to four days.
Expert Tips
I’ve been roasting Parmesan Brussel sprouts for years and have the best roasting method. So be sure to follow the tips so you get a perfectly roasted batch every time.
- Season the sprout really well – don’t skimp on the amounts!
- You should cut them so they are approximately the same size. Usually halving them works, but if they are large, cut them into thirds. This will ensure they all cook evenly.
- Roast them directly on the baking sheet. I don’t recommend lining the sheet pan with foil – the sprouts will get crispier without it! Also, be sure to place them cut-side down so they turn a nice golden brown.
You can use any seasonings you like, so have fun experimenting! But, honestly, even if they’re seasoned with just some salt, pepper, and olive oil, they’re so delicious.
