Ingredients
  

Brussels Sprouts & Oil
  • 1.5 lbs fresh Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved lengthwise
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Cheesy Topping & Glaze
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (Parmigiano-Reggiano)
  • 1.5 tbsp thick aged balsamic glaze (or reduction)
  • 2 tbsp fresh Italian parsley, finely chopped

Method
 

Prep & Season
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a large dark rimmed baking sheet inside to heat up for 5 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, toss halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, minced garlic, sea salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until well coated.
Roast for Maximum Caramelization
  1. Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and arrange the Brussels sprouts cut-side down in a single layer with space between pieces.
  2. Roast at 425°F for 20 to 22 minutes without moving them, until the bottoms are deeply golden-brown and crispy.
Add Parmesan & Balsamic
  1. Remove from oven, immediately toss with freshly grated Parmesan cheese, and return to the oven for 3 minutes until cheese is melted and crispy.
  2. Transfer to a serving bowl, drizzle with sweet balsamic glaze, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot!
