Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
- 1 lb (450g) brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- ¼ cup (25g) grated parmesan cheese
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika (optional)
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) chopped fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Preparation: Ignite the oven to 400F (200C), center the rack, and shield a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for seamless cleanup.
- Vegetable Transformation: Meticulously cleanse Brussels sprouts, discarding weathered outer leaves, and bifurcate each sprout lengthwise to promote uniform roasting.
- Seasoning Ritual: In a capacious mixing bowl, unite halved sprouts with olive oil, garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, and paprika, ensuring comprehensive and luxurious coating.
- Roasting Arrangement: Cascade seasoned sprouts onto the prepared baking sheet, positioning cut-sides downward to cultivate caramelized, golden-brown perfection.
- OvenAlchemy: Roast for 22-27 minutes, rotating midway to orchestrate even browning, transforming sprouts into crisp, golden delicacies.
- Cheese Crescendo: Extricate the baking sheet, cascade Parmesan generously across the roasted vegetables, returning to the oven for 3-4 minutes to crystallize a delicate, crispy cheese mantle.
- Presentation: Transfer the aromatic, cheese-crowned sprouts to a serving platter, adorning with freshly chopped parsley to elevate visual and flavor complexity.
Notes
- Optimize Roasting Position: Place Brussels sprouts cut-side down to achieve maximum caramelization and develop a crispy, golden-brown exterior that enhances overall flavor and texture.
- Control Moisture for Crispiness: Pat Brussels sprouts completely dry before seasoning to prevent steaming and ensure a perfect roasted, crisp result that avoids soggy vegetables.
- Manage Cheese Melting Technique: Sprinkle Parmesan in the final minutes of roasting to prevent burning and create a delicate, crispy cheese crust without overwhelming the vegetable’s natural taste.
- Customize Dietary Adaptations: Swap Parmesan for nutritional yeast or dairy-free cheese alternatives to make the recipe vegan-friendly while maintaining the dish’s rich, savory profile.
