1. Can I make Parmesan Crusted Brussels Sprouts ahead of time?

Yes, you can prep the Brussels sprouts up to two days in advance. Simply wash, trim, and halve them, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. When you're ready to cook, just toss them with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and cheese, and roast them for a deliciously crispy side dish.

2. How do I keep my Parmesan Crusted Brussels Sprouts crispy after cooking?

To maintain the crispy texture of your Parmesan Crusted Brussels Sprouts, avoid covering them with foil after roasting. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container and reheat them in the oven or air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes to restore their crispiness.

3. Can I use frozen Brussels sprouts for this recipe?

It’s best to use fresh Brussels sprouts for this recipe, as frozen sprouts can become soggy when roasted. Fresh Brussels sprouts will provide the perfect crunch and nutty flavor, which are key to achieving the crispy texture that makes this dish so delicious.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rinse the Brussels sprouts under cold water. Trim the ends and slice them in half.
In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, kosher salt, and garlic powder. Make sure they are well-coated.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese generously over the seasoned sprouts. Mix gently to ensure each sprout is coated with cheese.
Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer, cut-side down, on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast the Brussels sprouts in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and the cheese turns golden brown.
Optional: Drizzle with lemon juice before serving for a fresh twist.

Notes

Make sure to spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer to avoid overcrowding the pan and ensure they crisp up properly.
Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best texture and flavor.
For a dairy-free version, you can swap the Parmesan with nutritional yeast.
If you like spicy food, add red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper to the seasoning.
