Parmesan Crusted Brussel Sprouts
Description
This recipe starts by preheating the oven and melting salted butter in a baking dish. Grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese is combined with fresh basil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper into the hot butter, forming a fragrant seasoned paste. The halved Brussels sprouts are placed cut side down on top of this cheese mixture, which allows them to get a crisp, golden crust during baking.
Baked at a high temperature, the sprouts develop a toasted Parmesan crust on the bottom while roasting through to a tender interior. This contrast of crispy edges and soft centers creates a satisfying texture. Serving them with a creamy aioli adds a complementary flavor and richness.
The recipe notes emphasize preheating the oven for even cooking and provide reheating options: warming leftovers in a skillet or microwave, or restoring crispness in the oven or air fryer. Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts halved
- 4 tablespoons salted butter melted, Danish Creamery brand
- ½ cup Parmigiano Reggiano cheese grated
- ½ teaspoon basil fresh
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- aioli for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425˚F. Place the butter in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish and set in the oven for 5 minutes, until the butter is melted.
- Remove the dish from the oven, stir in the spices and parmigiano reggiano until well combined and they form a paste. Spread with a spatula to coat the bottom of the pan with the paste.
- Place the halved brussel sprouts cut side down in the baking dish. Bake until golden brown and crispy, about 35 minutes.
- Remove the brussel sprouts from the pan and add to a serving platter with aioli, if desired.
Notes
- Preheat the oven fully to ensure even roasting and crispy texture on the Brussels sprouts.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator; reheat in a hot oven or air fryer to restore crispiness or microwave/stovetop for convenience.
- Nutrition information does not include the aioli served alongside the sprouts.
