Parmesan Brussels Sprouts Recipe
Description
Parmesan Brussels Sprouts Recipe involves preparing a baking sheet lined with parchment paper coated in olive oil and spread evenly with grated Parmesan cheese. Halved Brussels sprouts are arranged cut side down on the cheese and pressed lightly so they adhere. A light spray of olive oil over the top and minimal salt and pepper seasoning complete the preparation.
Baking at a high temperature crisps the Parmesan to a golden, slightly brittle crust while roasting the Brussels sprouts tender yet caramelized at the edges. This method produces a balance of textures with the nutty roasted Parmesan complementing the mild bitterness of the sprouts.
The roasted sprouts are removed from the parchment after resting briefly, retaining the crispy Parmesan layer. Using quality parchment paper or a silicone baking mat prevents sticking and aids clean removal. Olive oil spray helps distribute oil evenly for consistent roasting.
Ingredients
- olive oil see notes, spray form
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- 1 ½ lbs. Brussels sprouts cut in half
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 9x13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Coat the parchment paper with a few sprays of olive oil. Sprinkle the parmesan cheese evenly over the parchment paper.
- Place the brussels sprouts in rows on the parmesan cheese, cut side down, pressing on each one a little to stick it to the cheese. Spray the tops with a little more olive oil and season with the salt and pepper.
- Bake the brussels for 20 minutes then let them sit on the counter for 2 minutes before pulling them off the parchment paper.
Notes
- Use good-quality parchment paper or silicone mats to prevent sticking; Reynolds and Kirkland Signature brands work well.
- Olive oil spray helps evenly coat the parchment; alternatively, brush oil if spray is unavailable.
