Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Garlic, Red Pepper, and Parmesan Cheese
Description
This recipe begins by trimming and halving Brussels sprouts, then coating them in olive oil, water, and kosher salt. They are roasted cut-side down in a hot 500°F oven, first covered with foil to steam and start cooking, then uncovered to crisp and brown for a balanced texture with caramelized edges and tender centers.
While the sprouts roast, additional olive oil is gently heated with minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes, creating a fragrant oil that infuses the dish with pungent garlic aroma and a touch of heat. This oil is tossed with the roasted Brussels sprouts when done, along with freshly grated Parmesan cheese, which adds a salty, nutty layer of flavor and slight creaminess to the vegetable’s crispness.
This side dish delivers contrast in textures, from crunchy edges to tender hearts, and a balanced flavor profile. It pairs well with various main courses and can be seasoned further with black pepper or salt to suit taste.
