Ingredients
Scale
Brussels Sprouts
- 1 1/2 lbs Brussels sprouts (trimmed and halved)
Seasoning and Coating
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt (to taste)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper (to taste)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly coat a baking sheet with nonstick spray to ensure the Brussels sprouts don’t stick while roasting.
- Prepare Brussels sprouts: Trim the ends and halve the Brussels sprouts to promote even cooking and crispiness.
- Make the butter mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined to create a flavorful coating.
- Coat Brussels sprouts: Toss the halved Brussels sprouts in the butter and seasoning mixture until every piece is evenly coated with flavor.
- Add breadcrumbs and cheese: Mix in the panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese and toss again so that the Brussels sprouts are evenly covered with the crunchy and cheesy coating.
- Arrange on baking sheet: Spread the coated Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the baking sheet with the cut-side down for optimal roasting and browning.
- Roast: Roast the Brussels sprouts in the preheated oven for about 15 to 20 minutes, until fork-tender and golden brown on the edges.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately, optionally garnished with additional Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, ensure the Brussels sprouts are spread out evenly and not crowded on the baking sheet.
- Panko breadcrumbs provide a lighter, airier crunch compared to regular breadcrumbs.
- You can substitute Parmesan with Pecorino Romano for a sharper taste.
- To make this recipe vegetarian, ensure the Parmesan is made without animal rennet or use a vegetarian alternative.
- Serve as a side dish with grilled meats or as a tasty appetizer.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated in a pan or oven to maintain crispiness.
