Ingredients
Vegetables
- 1–1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts (trimmed and halved)
Seasonings and Coatings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (melted)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Crispy Toppings
- 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs (or breadcrumbs)
- 1/3 cup + 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (divided)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting the Brussels sprouts.
- Prepare Sprouts: In a large bowl, toss the trimmed and halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, melted butter, salt, garlic powder, and pepper until they are thoroughly coated with the seasoning mixture. Then add the panko breadcrumbs and 1/3 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, mixing gently but thoroughly to ensure even coating.
- Arrange on Pan: Spread the coated Brussels sprouts out on a baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they are not overlapping. If some panko and Parmesan fall off during transfer, sprinkle them evenly over the sprouts on the pan to add extra crispiness.
- Bake the Sprouts: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the Brussels sprouts for 18 to 23 minutes, or until they turn golden brown, become tender, and the cheese has melted and formed a crispy crust.
- Finish and Serve: Once baked, sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese and any toasted panko crumbs left on the tray over the sprouts. Serve immediately to enjoy their best texture and flavor.
Notes
- You may use regular breadcrumbs if panko is unavailable, but panko provides a crispier texture.
- For extra flavor, you can add a squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes before serving.
- Be sure not to overcrowd the baking sheet to allow the sprouts to roast evenly and get crispy.
- Leftovers can be reheated in a hot oven to restore crispiness, but are best enjoyed fresh.
