Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare Brussels Sprouts: In a large bowl, toss trimmed and halved Brussels sprouts with melted butter, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, 3 tablespoons of grated parmigiano, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika or red pepper flakes. Stir well to coat each sprout evenly.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the Brussels sprouts cut side down on the baking sheet. This helps them get that beautiful caramelized edge.
- Roast: Place in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes or until the sprouts are crispy on the outside and tender inside.
- Add Cheese Topping: Remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven and sprinkle the extra 1 cup of grated Parmesan and optional lemon zest over them. Place them back in the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes or until the cheese is melted, creating a thin, crispy, cheesy layer.
- Serve: Enjoy these crispy, cheesy Brussels sprouts as a delcious side dish.
Notes
- Choose Fresh Brussels Sprouts: Look for firm, vibrant green sprouts without any yellowing or wilting for the best flavor and texture.
- Dry Thoroughly: After washing, ensure the sprouts are completely dry to help them roast evenly and get that perfect crispiness.
- Cut Side Down: Place the Brussels sprouts cut side down on the baking sheet to achieve caramelized edges and a golden crust.
- Avoid Overcrowding: Spread the sprouts in a single layer with space between each to allow proper air circulation, which helps them crisp up instead of steaming.
- Add Parmesan Toward the End: Sprinkle the final layer of Parmesan in the last few minutes of roasting for a perfectly melted, golden cheese crust.
- Finish with Lemon Zest: For an extra burst of flavor, sprinkle lemon zest right before serving to brighten up the dish.
