Ingredients
1 lb Brussels sprouts (fresh, trimmed, and halved)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (optional)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure the Brussels sprouts crisp up perfectly.
Prep the Brussels sprouts: Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts, remove any yellow or damaged leaves, and slice them in half.
Prepare the Parmesan mixture: In a large bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to form a paste-like consistency.
Coat the Brussels sprouts: Add the halved Brussels sprouts to the bowl with the Parmesan mixture. Toss them until evenly coated.
Roast the Brussels sprouts: Arrange the coated Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Finish and serve: Remove from the oven and drizzle with lemon juice (if using) and garnish with chopped parsley for an added burst of flavor.
Notes
For a dairy-free version, substitute Parmesan with nutritional yeast or a plant-based cheese alternative.
You can add panko breadcrumbs to the Parmesan mixture for extra crunch.
To make this dish spicier, sprinkle some red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper into the seasoning mix.
