Ingredients
Scale
Brussels Sprouts
- 500g (1lb) Brussels sprouts
Seasoning & Coating
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/3 cup (30g) Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) to ensure it is hot and ready for roasting the Brussels sprouts.
- Prepare Brussels sprouts: Trim the base of each sprout, cut them in half, and remove any loose or rough outer leaves for a cleaner, more even roast.
- Toss with oil: Place the prepared Brussels sprouts in a bowl, pour over the extra virgin olive oil, and toss gently to coat all pieces evenly.
- Add seasonings: Sprinkle the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, finely grated Parmesan, and panko breadcrumbs over the sprouts in the bowl.
- Coat the sprouts: Toss everything together well, making sure each sprout half is coated with the mixture.
- Arrange for roasting: Spread the Brussels sprouts out on a baking tray, placing them cut side down to maximize caramelization and crispiness.
- Roast the sprouts: Roast in the oven for 20 minutes, then flip each sprout and continue roasting for an additional 10 minutes until the outer leaves are deep golden brown and crispy.
- Serve immediately: Transfer the roasted Brussels sprouts to a warm serving bowl. Scrape any loose parmesan and breadcrumbs off the tray and sprinkle them over the top before serving right away for maximum crunch and flavor.
Notes
- Use fresh, firm Brussels sprouts for best results.
- Panko breadcrumbs add extra crispiness but can be omitted for a lighter version.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt and pepper.
- Serve immediately after roasting to maintain crisp texture.
