Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes optional
  • 1 tsp lemon juice optional, for finishing

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Measuring spoons

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Rinse, trim, and halve the Brussels sprouts. Pat dry with paper towels.
  3. Toss Brussels sprouts with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.
  4. Spread the sprouts cut-side down on the baking sheet in a single layer.
  5. Roast for 20–25 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through for even cooking.
  6. Remove from oven and sprinkle with grated Parmesan. Toss gently to coat.
  7. Optional: Drizzle with fresh lemon juice before serving.
  8. Serve immediately as a side dish.

Notes

Ensure Brussels sprouts are dry for maximum crispiness. Parmesan can be substituted with Pecorino Romano for a sharper flavor.
