A recipe for achieving deeply crispy Brussels sprouts with a savory, cheesy Parmesan crust using high-heat roasting.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, finely grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a large baking sheet in the oven while it preheats for 10 minutes.
  2. Wash the Brussels sprouts thoroughly and dry them completely using paper towels. Moisture prevents crisping.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the dry sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven. Arrange the sprouts cut-side down on the hot sheet in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan.
  5. Roast for 15 minutes.
  6. While the sprouts roast, mix the grated Parmesan cheese and minced garlic in a small bowl.
  7. Remove the sprouts from the oven. Toss them gently. Sprinkle the Parmesan-garlic mixture evenly over the sprouts.
  8. Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 5 to 8 minutes, or until the sprouts are tender inside and the cheese forms a golden, crispy crust.
  9. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Drying the sprouts thoroughly before tossing them with oil is the most important step for crispiness.
  • Using a preheated baking sheet helps sear the cut side immediately, promoting a better crust.
  • Add the Parmesan cheese only during the last few minutes of cooking to prevent the cheese from burning before the sprouts are cooked through.
