Garlic Parmesan Roasted Brussels Sprouts Recipe
If you are looking for a healthy and tasty side dish, this Garlic Parmesan Roasted Brussels Sprouts Recipe is perfect. Roasting Brussels sprouts brings out their natural sweetness. The garlic and Parmesan add a rich, savory flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Optional: 1 teaspoon lemon juice for extra flavor
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). Preheating ensures Brussels sprouts roast evenly and get crispy edges.
Prepare Brussels Sprouts
- Trim the ends and remove any yellow leaves. Cut each Brussels sprout in half for even cooking.
Mix with Olive Oil
- Place Brussels sprouts in a bowl. Drizzle olive oil over them. Toss until all pieces are coated evenly.
Add Garlic and Seasonings
- Sprinkle minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Toss gently so garlic and spices cover all sprouts.
Spread on Baking Sheet
- Place Brussels sprouts cut side down on a baking sheet. Do not overcrowd; they need space to roast.
Roast in Oven
- Bake for 20 minutes. Shake or stir halfway for even browning. Edges should be golden and crispy.
Add Parmesan Cheese
- Remove from oven and sprinkle grated Parmesan on top. Return to oven for 2–3 minutes until slightly melted.
Optional Lemon Drizzle
- Drizzle lemon juice over Brussels sprouts for a bright, fresh flavor. Serve warm immediately.
Notes
- Use fresh garlic instead of garlic powder for stronger flavor.
- Toss in balsamic glaze after roasting for a sweet tangy taste.
- Add crispy bacon pieces for a smoky, savory version.
- Sprinkle red pepper flakes if you like a mild spicy kick.
- Roast at high heat to keep Brussels sprouts crispy, not soggy.
