Looking for a side dish that’s both simple and delicious? This Garlic Parmesan Roasted Brussels Sprouts recipe delivers crispy, golden perfection with the rich flavors of garlic, Italian herbs, and a generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Whether you’re preparing a weeknight dinner or a holiday feast, these Brussels sprouts are sure to impress.
Ingredients:
16 ounces (450 grams) Brussels sprouts, halved, trimmed, and rinsed
3 tbsp olive oil (or melted butter)
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
1 tsp Italian seasoning
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (adjust to taste)
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Prepare the Brussels sprouts by patting them dry with paper towels. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Season the sprouts: Add olive oil, Italian seasoning, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat the Brussels sprouts evenly.
Roast the Brussels sprouts: Spread the seasoned sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are golden brown and crispy on the outside, tender on the inside.
Serve: Transfer the roasted Brussels sprouts to a serving dish, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Serving Tips:
Serve immediately: Brussels sprouts are best served hot, right out of the oven, when they are at their crispiest. The longer they sit, the more they soften, so it’s best to enjoy them fresh.
Pair with main dishes: These roasted Brussels sprouts pair beautifully with roasted chicken, grilled steak, or baked fish. They also work well as part of a holiday spread with turkey, ham, or other festive dishes.
Garnish options: Elevate the dish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or thyme, a dash of red pepper flakes for heat, or even a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to add brightness.
Dipping options: Serve with a side of aioli or garlic butter for dipping to complement the flavors.
Storage Tips:
Refrigeration: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Be sure they’ve cooled to room temperature before storing to prevent moisture buildup.
Reheating: Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 5-10 minutes to restore their crispiness. Microwaving is not recommended as it tends to make the Brussels sprouts soggy.
Freezing: It’s not recommended to freeze roasted Brussels sprouts as they tend to lose their texture and become mushy when thawed.

FAQs:
Can I make Garlic Parmesan Roasted Brussels Sprouts ahead of time?
Yes, you can prep the Brussels sprouts in advance by trimming and seasoning them up to a day before. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and roast them when you’re ready to serve. However, it’s best to roast them fresh for optimal crispiness.
How do I make the Brussels sprouts crispier?
To achieve extra crispy Brussels sprouts, make sure they’re completely dry before roasting, and avoid overcrowding the baking sheet. You can also roast them for a few extra minutes or broil them for the last 2-3 minutes, keeping an eye on them to prevent burning.
Can I use frozen Brussels sprouts for this recipe?
It’s best to use fresh Brussels sprouts for roasting, as frozen ones tend to release more water and become mushy. If you only have frozen Brussels sprouts, thaw and pat them dry thoroughly before roasting.
What can I substitute for Parmesan cheese?
If you’re looking for a substitute, you can try Pecorino Romano or Grana Padano for a similar flavor. For a dairy-free option, nutritional yeast provides a cheesy flavor without the dairy.
Conclusion:
Enjoy the irresistible flavor of these Garlic Parmesan Roasted Brussels Sprouts, and watch as they become a favorite at your table!
