Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 pound Brussels Sprouts (Fresh, firm sprouts)

Seasonings & Oils

  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (Extra virgin)
  • 1 teaspoon Sea Salt (Or kosher salt)
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper (Adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes (Optional)

Butter & Garlic

  • 4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • 3 cloves Garlic (Minced)

Optional Toppings

  • 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese (Optional)
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley (For garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the Brussels sprouts.
  2. Prepare Brussels Sprouts: Rinse the Brussels sprouts under cold water to clean them. Trim off the tough ends and cut each sprout in half to ensure even cooking.
  3. Toss with Seasonings: In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts with minced garlic, extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Toss everything together to coat the sprouts evenly.
  4. Melt Garlic Butter: Melt the unsalted butter over low heat in a small saucepan. Once melted, add some extra minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes to infuse the butter with garlic flavor.
  5. Combine Garlic Butter and Brussels Sprouts: Drizzle the garlic butter over the seasoned Brussels sprouts in the bowl, then toss again to ensure each piece is coated in the flavorful butter.
  6. Arrange for Roasting: Spread the coated Brussels sprouts out in a single layer on a baking sheet. This allows them to roast evenly and become crispy.
  7. Roast the Brussels Sprouts: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, turning or flipping the sprouts halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
  8. Add Parmesan Cheese: In the last 5 minutes of roasting, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the Brussels sprouts if you want a cheesy finish. Return to the oven to melt the cheese slightly.
  9. Serve: Remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet when spreading the Brussels sprouts.
  • Red pepper flakes add a spicy kick but can be omitted if you prefer milder flavors.
  • Use fresh Parmesan cheese for best taste when topping the sprouts.
  • You can substitute unsalted butter with regular salted butter if preferred, but adjust the salt accordingly.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
