    Ingredients and substitutions

    Ingredients on a counter top.
    • Brussels sprouts - Fresh, firm brussels sprouts are best for this recipe. Look for bright green brussels sprouts that are blemish-free. Brussels sprouts are in season through the fall and winter months, so you're likely to find the best brussels sprouts during this time.
    • Parmesan cheese - Should be freshly shredded from a block for best flavor and even melting. Parmesan can also be substituted with your favorite freshly shredded cheese you have on hand.
    • Garlic powder - Can be substituted onion powder, or with fresh garlic. I recommend thin slicing your garlic instead of mincing, because minced garlic can burn quickly in the oven.
    • Salt and pepper - Adds depth of flavor to your brussels sprouts.
    • Olive oil - Can be substituted with ghee or your favorite neutral cooking oil.

    Tips and tricks

    To prepare your brussels sprouts for roasting:

    1. Rinse your brussels sprouts off and pat dry.
    2. Next, trim the hard stems on the bottom, removing any excess or brown parts. This is usually a small amount, maybe ¼ inch or less.
    3. Last, peel off any yellowing/spotted leaves and discard. If any extra green leaves fall off, that's okay. You can roast these with the whole pieces (and they get nice and crispy in the oven!).
    4. If your brussels sprouts are very small, leave them whole. If you are preparing medium to large brussels sprouts, slice them in half (or bite size pieces) for a quicker cooking time.

    How to roast brussels sprouts

    Once your brussels sprouts have been cleaned and prepped, they can be seasoned to go in the oven.

    • Preheat your oven and lightly grease or line your baking sheet.
    • Add brussels sprouts to a bowl, then top with your oil, seasoning, and cheese.
    • Toss to coat, then pour onto your prepared baking sheet.
    • Spread into an even layer and bake until browned to your liking.
    • Optionally, sprinkle more parmesan cheese on top before serving.
