Ingredients
- 1 pound brussels sprouts, rinsed, ends trimmed
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½-1 ½ cups (50 g-150 g) parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F* and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until they are just tender but not cooked all of the way through. (They will finish cooking in the oven.) Drain the Brussels sprouts and pat them dry with a paper towel. Soak up as much moisture as you can; this will help them crisp up in the oven.
- Transfer the cooked Brussels sprouts to a large bowl. Add the olive oil, garlic powder, kosher salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Toss everything together to ensure the Brussels sprouts are evenly coated.
- Arrange the Brussels sprouts on the lined baking sheet in a single layer, leaving about 1 inch of space in between each.
- Using the bottom of a sturdy glass or a flat-bottomed measuring cup, gently smash each Brussels sprout to a thickness of about ¼ inch.
- Bake the Brussels sprouts for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are starting to crisp.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Flip each Brussels sprout over and generously and evenly sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top of each one.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and continue baking for another 15 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and the Brussels sprouts are done to your desired crispness. Serve.
Notes
- *Air Fryer Instructions
- Follow the instructions to the point of baking the Brussels sprouts in the oven.
- Place the boiled and seasoned Brussels sprouts directly into the basket of your air fryer. (Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may have to work in batches.) Or, place them onto a sheet of parchment paper.
- Gently smash the Brussels sprouts, stabilizing the basket of the air fryer when doing so. If on a sheet of parchment paper, smash them and transfer the sheet of Brussels sprouts into the basket of your air fryer.
- Air fry at 375°F for 10 minutes.
- Top with parmesan cheese and air fry for an additional 2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
