Crispy Garlic Parmesan Brussels Sprouts Recipe

Introduction

Crispy Garlic Parmesan Brussels Sprouts make a flavorful and easy side dish that’s perfect for any meal. Roasted to golden perfection with a crunchy topping, these sprouts combine savory garlic and rich Parmesan for an irresistible bite.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lbs Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
• 1/4 tsp black pepper (adjust to taste)
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs or regular breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly coat a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
2. Step 2: Prepare the Brussels sprouts by trimming the ends. Halve larger sprouts or quarter them if very large. Keep smaller sprouts whole or halved for even cooking.
3. Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.
4. Step 4: Add the Brussels sprouts to the bowl and toss gently to coat evenly with the butter mixture.
5. Step 5: Sprinkle in the panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. Toss again to coat the sprouts evenly.
6. Step 6: Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, cut-side down for halved sprouts. Sprinkle any leftover breadcrumb mixture over the sprouts and press lightly to adhere.
7. Step 7: Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, checking at 15 minutes. Cook until the sprouts are fork-tender and lightly browned. Roasting time may vary depending on their size, so monitor closely to prevent burning.
8. Step 8: Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.

Tips & Variations

• For extra crispiness, use panko breadcrumbs instead of regular ones.
• If you prefer a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the seasoning mix.
• Try replacing Parmesan with Pecorino Romano for a sharper flavor.
• Make this dish vegan by using olive oil instead of butter and a vegan cheese substitute.

Storage

Store leftover Brussels sprouts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 375°F oven for 5-10 minutes to restore crispiness, or warm briefly in a skillet over medium heat.

FAQs

Can I use frozen Brussels sprouts for this recipe?

Fresh Brussels sprouts are best for roasting to achieve a crispy texture. Frozen sprouts tend to release moisture and may become soggy, but if using frozen, thaw and pat them dry thoroughly before proceeding.

How do I know when the Brussels sprouts are done roasting?

The sprouts are done when they are fork-tender and have a golden brown, crispy exterior. Check at 15 minutes and adjust cooking time based on their size and your desired level of crispness.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Brussels Sprouts:

• 1 1/2 lbs Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

Butter & Oil:

• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tbsp olive oil

Seasonings:

• 1/2 tsp salt, adjust to taste
• 1/4 tsp black pepper, adjust to taste
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder

Toppings:

• 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs (or regular breadcrumbs)
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly coat a baking sheet with nonstick spray to prepare for roasting.
2. Prepare Brussels Sprouts: Trim the ends from the Brussels sprouts. Halve the larger sprouts or quarter them if very large. Keep smaller sprouts whole or halved to ensure even cooking throughout.
3. Mix Butter and Seasonings: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until fully combined and ready to coat the sprouts evenly.
4. Coat the Sprouts: Add the prepared Brussels sprouts to the bowl and gently toss them to ensure they are well coated with the butter and seasoning mixture.
5. Add Breadcrumbs and Parmesan: Sprinkle the panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese over the coated sprouts. Toss again gently to distribute these toppings evenly over all the sprouts.
6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, placing halved sprouts cut-side down. For any leftover breadcrumb mixture, sprinkle it over the sprouts and press lightly so it adheres well.
7. Roast the Brussels Sprouts: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes. Check at 15 minutes to avoid overcooking. Roast until the Brussels sprouts are fork-tender and the breadcrumb topping is golden and crispy.
8. Serve Immediately: Once roasted, serve the Brussels sprouts right away. Optionally, garnish with additional grated Parmesan cheese to enhance the flavor and presentation.

Notes

• For best results, choose Brussels sprouts that are firm and fresh.
• If you prefer extra crispiness, you can broil the Brussels sprouts for the last 1-2 minutes—watch closely to prevent burning.
• Panko breadcrumbs provide a lighter, crispier texture than regular breadcrumbs but either works well.
• Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste preference.
• This dish can be made ahead and reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
