Ingredients Method Notes

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

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure the Brussels sprouts crisp up perfectly.
  2. Prep the Brussels sprouts: Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts, remove any yellow or damaged leaves, and slice them in half.
  3. 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.
  4. Coat the Brussels sprouts: Add the halved Brussels sprouts to the bowl with the Parmesan mixture. Toss them until evenly coated.
  5. 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.
  6.  
  7. 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.
