Amazing CRISPY Parmesan Garlic Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Description
Amazing CRISPY Parmesan Garlic Roasted Brussels Sprouts starts by trimming and halving medium-sized Brussels sprouts, which ensures a tender interior and crispy edges after roasting. Tossing them with extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper gives a savory base, while a coating of finely grated Parmesan cheese and panko breadcrumbs adds a nutty, crunchy crust.
Roasting at a high temperature first cut-side down allows the sprouts to caramelize and crisp, then flipping exposes all sides to the oven's heat for even browning. The use of panko breadcrumbs, which are coarser than regular crumbs, contributes a distinctive crisp texture. These sprouts make a flavorful side that pairs well with a variety of mains.
Smaller sprouts tend to be sweeter, while larger ones have a stronger cabbage-like flavor. Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven to preserve crispness.
Ingredients
- 500g/ 1lb Brussels sprouts (Note 1)
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 garlic minced, cloves
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/3 cup (30g) parmesan , finely grated
- 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs (Note 2)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200°C/400°F.
- Prepare brussels sprouts: Trim the base, cut in half and remove the loose, rough outer leaves.
- Place in a bowl, pour over oil and toss gently.
- Sprinkle with garlic, salt, pepper, parmesan and breadcrumbs.
- Toss to coat, then spread out on tray cut face down.
- Roast for 20 minutes, flip then roast for a further 10 minutes until the outer leaves are deep golden brown and crispy (see photos/video).
- Immediately transfer to warm serving bowl. Scrape loose parmesan breadcrumbs off the tray and sprinkle, then serve immediately.
Notes
- Choose Brussels sprouts around 3cm (1.25") wide for a balance of sweetness and texture.
- If using frozen Brussels sprouts, thaw and dry thoroughly to help achieve crispiness with the Parmesan and panko coating.
- Panko breadcrumbs are preferred for their larger flakes, providing a more substantial crunch.
- Leftovers keep 3 to 4 days refrigerated; reheat in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 7 minutes to restore crispness.
