Ingredients
1.5 lbs Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced finely
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Wash the Brussels sprouts thoroughly, pat dry, trim the ends, and slice in half.
Place the prepared sprouts into a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle with olive oil and add minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Toss well until every piece is evenly coated.
Spread the sprouts on a large rimmed baking sheet in a single layer with the flat sides facing down.
Roast for 20 minutes on the center rack until tender and charred.
Remove from oven, toss with the Parmesan cheese, and serve warm.
Notes
Ensure sprouts are completely dry before seasoning to encourage better caramelization. If sprouts vary significantly in size, quarter the larger ones to maintain uniform cooking time. For extra crispiness, roast for an additional 3-5 minutes.
