Description
Discover the secret to crispy perfection with these Ultimate Roasted Brussels Sprouts, seasoned and roasted to golden brown.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp balsamic glaze
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- ¼ cup cooked crumbled bacon, optional
- 2 tbsp toasted chopped pecans, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Heat oven to 425°F. Place a large baking sheet in the oven while it preheats for extra-crispy Brussels sprouts.
- Season the Brussels sprouts: In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Arrange: Carefully remove the hot baking sheet. Spread the Brussels sprouts out in a single layer, placing as many cut-side down as possible. Don’t overcrowd the pan.
- Roast: Roast for 20–25 minutes, without stirring, until the cut sides are deeply golden and crispy.
- Add Parmesan: Sprinkle the Parmesan over the Brussels sprouts and return to the oven for another 3–5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
- Finish: Transfer to a serving dish and drizzle with balsamic glaze.
- Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and, if desired, add crispy bacon and toasted pecans.
- Serve: Serve immediately while the Brussels sprouts are hot and crisp.
Notes
- For maximum crispiness, make sure the Brussels sprouts are completely dry before seasoning and leave plenty of space between them on the baking sheet.
