A simple recipe for making crispy oven roasted Brussels sprouts finished with salty Parmesan cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb Brussels sprouts
  • 3 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.25 tsp dried thyme
  • 0.5 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
  2. Trim the ends off the Brussels sprouts and remove any loose or yellow outer leaves. Cut any large sprouts in half; leave smaller ones whole.
  3. Place the prepared sprouts in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat them evenly.
  4. In a small bowl, mix the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme. Sprinkle this seasoning mix over the sprouts and toss again until everything is well combined.
  5. Spread the seasoned sprouts in a single layer on a large, rimmed baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary to ensure crisping.
  6. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through the cooking time. The sprouts are done when the outer leaves are dark brown and crispy and the centers are tender when pierced with a fork.
  7. Remove the hot sprouts from the oven. Immediately transfer them to a clean serving bowl.
  8. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot sprouts and toss quickly so the cheese melts slightly onto the vegetables. Serve right away.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, place the baking sheet in the oven while it preheats.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor and melting quality. Pre-grated cheese often contains anti-caking agents that prevent proper melting.
  • If you like a slight tang, toss the sprouts with 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar immediately after removing them from the oven, before adding the Parmesan.
