Description
Crispy Parmesan-Crusted Roasted Brussels Sprouts are tender on the inside with a golden, crispy Parmesan coating on the outside. The savory coating enhances the natural sweetness of the sprouts, making this dish a perfect contrast of textures and flavors.
Ingredients
1 pound Brussels sprouts
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup panko breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Trim the Brussels sprouts, removing tough stems and any yellow or damaged leaves, then slice each in half lengthwise.
- In a large bowl, toss sprouts with olive oil until evenly coated.
- Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper over them. Toss again to distribute seasonings.
- In a separate small bowl, mix grated Parmesan with panko breadcrumbs.
- Add the Parmesan-panko mixture to the sprouts and toss gently, pressing so it adheres well.
- Arrange sprouts cut-side down in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Roast for 20–25 minutes, until edges are golden and crisp. In the last 5 minutes, gently toss if needed for even browning.
- Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley.
- Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- For extra heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes when mixing the seasonings.
- Substitute whole wheat breadcrumbs for panko to lighten the dish.
- If you prefer a deeper roasted flavor, you can roast them until deeply golden, but watch closely to prevent burning.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheat leftovers at 375°F for 8–10 minutes for crispy results.
