Ingredients

  • 16 oz brussels sprouts - halved
  • 3 T avocado oil or olive oil
  • ½ t Italian seasoning
  • 2 t minced garlic
  • ½ C grated parmesan cheese
  • ¼ t salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice Brussels sprouts in half.
  • In a large bowl, toss sprouts with oil, then add Italian seasoning, garlic, parmesan, and salt. Toss well to coat.
  • Arrange sprouts cut-side down on the baking sheet with space between them.
  • Roast for 20–25 minutes until golden and crispy. For extra crispiness, broil the last 1–2 minutes—watch closely to prevent burning.

Notes

Variations

  • Spicy Parmesan Brussels Sprouts: Add ¼–½ teaspoon red pepper flakes.
  • Lemon Garlic Brussels Sprouts: Add 1 teaspoon lemon zest before baking.
  • Extra Cheesy: Top with more parmesan in the last 5 minutes.
  • Garlic Butter Style: Drizzle melted garlic butter after roasting.

Tips for Success

  • Give them space. Crowding makes them steam instead of crisp.
  • Cut-side down = max crispiness.
  • Watch the broiler. Parmesan can burn quickly.
  • Choose similar-sized sprouts so they cook evenly.
