🥦 Garlic Parmesan Roasted Brussels Sprouts
🛒 Ingredients
-
1 lb (450g) Brussels sprouts
-
3 tbsp olive oil
-
3–4 cloves garlic, minced
-
½ tsp salt
-
½ tsp black pepper
-
½ tsp paprika (optional)
-
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan
-
1 tbsp balsamic glaze or lemon juice (optional finish)
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Prep
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Trim ends and cut sprouts in half (quarter large ones).
2️⃣ Season
In a bowl, toss:
-
Brussels sprouts
-
Olive oil
-
Garlic
-
Salt & pepper
-
Paprika
Mix until evenly coated.
3️⃣ Roast
Spread sprouts cut side down in a single layer.
Roast for 20–25 minutes, until:
-
Deep golden brown
-
Crispy edges

Tender inside
Don’t overcrowd the pan — that’s the secret to crispiness.

Sprinkle Parmesan during the last 5 minutes of roasting OR immediately after removing from oven.
Optional: Drizzle with balsamic glaze or a squeeze of lemon.

✔ Roast on the bottom rack
