Ingredients
Scale
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
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly coat a baking sheet with nonstick spray to prepare for roasting.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
