Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Description
Roasted Brussels Sprouts transform the humble vegetable into a satisfying side dish by coating cleaned sprouts in olive oil and seasonings before roasting them at 425°F. This high heat caramelizes their outer leaves and softens the insides while enhancing their natural flavor. Parmesan cheese adds a salty, umami touch that complements the garlic and pepper spices.
The final dish features a tender interior with crisp, slightly browned edges. Sprinkling extra Parmesan just before serving can enhance the cheesy taste and add texture. These sprouts work well alongside roasted meats, chicken, or as part of a vegetarian meal.
For storage, the recipe suggests keeping leftovers refrigerated up to three days in an airtight container. Freezing cooked sprouts is not recommended; instead, freeze them raw and roast after thawing for best results.

- 1 teaspoon garlic powder or to taste
