Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Set your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Prepare the Brussels Sprouts:
- Trim and halve the Brussels sprouts. In a large mixing bowl, toss them with 3 tablespoons of olive oil (or melted butter), making sure they’re evenly coated.
- Season:
- Add minced garlic, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to the bowl. Toss everything together, ensuring the sprouts are coated with the seasoning.
- Roast:
- Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast them in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they’re tender and slightly browned on the edges. Stir halfway through the cooking time to ensure they cook evenly.
- Add Parmesan:
- While the Brussels sprouts are still hot, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top, allowing it to melt slightly and stick to the sprouts.
- Taste and Adjust:
- Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper if desired.
- Serve:
- Serve immediately as a delightful, healthy side dish that’s sure to convert any brussels sprouts doubter.
Tips:
- Extra crispiness: For even crispier sprouts, leave the outer leaves on and let them get a little charred for added texture.
- Additions: Try adding a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a bit of extra flavor.
- Pairing: These sprouts make a perfect side for roasted meats, or they can be tossed in with pasta for a quick meal.
