Ingredients
1 lb Brussels sprouts
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Trim ends and halve each Brussels sprout.
3. In a small bowl, mix Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
4. Spread the cheese mixture onto the lined baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
5. Press each sprout cut-side down firmly into the cheese layer.
6. Roast undisturbed for 20–25 minutes until cheese is golden and crispy.
7. Let cool 5 minutes before lifting sprouts with a spatula and serving.
Notes
Use freshly grated Parmesan, not pre-shredded, for best melt and crisp.
Don’t flip the sprouts during baking—this preserves the crispy bottom.
Line your sheet with parchment to prevent sticking and keep cleanup easy.
