Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 600g Brussels sprouts, halved
- 50g butter, melted
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 50g panko breadcrumbs
- 25g parmesan cheese or vegetarian alternative, finely grated
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Heat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan) or gas mark 6 to ensure a nice hot environment for roasting the sprouts to a perfect crisp.
- Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: Place the halved Brussels sprouts in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the melted butter over them, then add the crushed garlic cloves and season generously with salt and pepper. Toss everything together so the sprouts are evenly coated with the butter and garlic mixture.
- Add Breadcrumbs and Cheese: Sprinkle the panko breadcrumbs and finely grated parmesan (or vegetarian alternative) over the sprouts. Toss gently once more to combine, ensuring the breadcrumbs and cheese stick well to the butter-coated sprouts.
- Arrange on Baking Tray: Spread the sprouts out on a baking tray in a single layer, making sure they have space between each piece to avoid steaming. Place as many sprouts cut-side down as possible to maximize crispiness and press any extra crumbs onto the sprouts to help them adhere during roasting.
- Roast: Roast the sprouts in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Roast until the sprouts are tender inside and crisp and golden brown on the outside, turning once if desired for even color.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Enjoy the crunchy garlic and parmesan Brussels sprouts as a tasty side dish or appetizer.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of chili flakes or use flavored butter like garlic butter.
- Make sure sprouts are spaced well on the baking tray to get a crispy texture, avoid overcrowding.
- Vegetarian parmesan alternatives work well for those avoiding animal rennet.
- Leftovers can be reheated in a hot oven or air fryer to retain crispiness.
