Print Recipe

A quick and easy side dish featuring crispy roasted Brussels sprouts coated with garlic powder and freshly grated Parmesan cheese, delivering a crunchy, nutty, and garlicky flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450 grams) Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon (about 2 grams) garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup (25 grams) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon (3 grams) salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon (1 gram) freshly ground black pepper
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes (about 1/4 teaspoon)
  • Optional: squeeze of fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Trim off the stem ends of the Brussels sprouts, remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves, and cut them in half lengthwise. Quarter large sprouts for even cooking.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange the sprouts cut side down on a parchment-lined or lightly greased rimmed baking sheet in a single layer, leaving space between them.
  5. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping the sprouts halfway through (about 10 to 12 minutes) using tongs or a spatula, until edges are deeply browned and stems are tender.
  6. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the freshly grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the hot sprouts to melt slightly.
  7. Optionally, sprinkle red pepper flakes or squeeze fresh lemon juice over the sprouts before serving.

Notes

Pat Brussels sprouts dry after washing to ensure crispiness. Do not overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming. Use fresh Parmesan cheese for best melting and flavor. If sprouts aren’t crisping, try lowering oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) and increase cooking time slightly. Oven reheating is preferred over microwave to maintain crispiness.
