Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Garlic
Description
The recipe instructs trimming Brussels sprouts, removing loose leaves, and cutting large sprouts into smaller pieces for even cooking. Sprouts are tossed with olive oil, chopped garlic cloves left in chunks, sea salt, and pepper to coat lightly. Roasting occurs at a high temperature of 220°C (425°F) for 25 minutes, allowing edges to crisp while interiors soften.
After initial roasting, finely grated Parmesan is sprinkled on top and the sprouts return to the oven for an additional 10 minutes. This allows cheese to melt and form a savory crust enhancing the roasted flavor and adding richness. The garlic chunks caramelize gently without burning, adding a sweet and aromatic depth.
This side dish pairs well with simple mains and can be made more indulgent by adding bacon or herbs like thyme or rosemary. Ensuring sprouts have ample space on the pan promotes crispiness rather than steaming.
The recipe notes recommend various seasoning adaptations and emphasize garlic chunk size to avoid burning. Proper spacing and using fresh ingredients improve results significantly.
Ingredients
- 500 g Brussels sprouts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 garlic chopped, clove
- 30 g parmesan finely grated
- sea salt
- black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C(fan)/425°F/Gas 7. Chop off the ends of 500 g Brussels sprouts and remove any loose outer leaves. Cut the larger sprouts in to half or quarters, depending on the size.
- Place the sprouts on the baking tray with 1 tablespoon Olive oil, 3 Garlic clove and Sea salt and ground black pepper. Gently mix trying not to displace any further leaves.
- Put into the oven and cook for 25 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and add 30 g Parmesan and put back in the oven for 10 minutes.
Notes
- Use chunks of garlic rather than crushed garlic to avoid burning and achieve a sweet, tender flavor.
- Adding chopped thyme or rosemary can enhance the roasted flavor with herbaceous notes.
- To make the sprouts more indulgent, add chopped bacon before roasting.
- Ensure there is plenty of space on the pan so the Brussels sprouts roast and crisp rather than steam.
- If you dislike Parmesan, try roasting with olive oil, paprika, and chili for a different flavor profile.
