A Favorite Brussels Recipe

We love Brussels sprouts and of course, parmesan is a favorite pairing.
This is one of those recipes that proves simple is sometimes best.
This recipe can be prepared up to 48 hours in advance and roasted just before serving.
Low carb and keto, Brussel sprouts are available year round at almost any grocery store.

Ingredients and Variations

BRUSSELS SPROUTS: Look for tightly wrapped, heavy brussels sprouts and remove any torn or brown leaves. Since these sprouts are cut in half (to give a flat surface for the cheese), opt for larger sprouts if you can find them.

SEASONINGS: A little bit of butter and garlic add flavor, help with browning and most importantly help the cheese to stick. Swap up the seasonings with some Greek seasoning or lemon pepper or even Italian seasoning.

We do love brussels sprouts roasted with balsamic, it would be great drizzled over these after cooking.

How to Make Parmesan Brussels Sprouts

Trim brussels sprouts and cut in half lengthwise.
Toss the sprouts with butter, garlic, and seasonings.
Press each half into grated parmesan cheese and roast until tender and golden, as per recipe below.

Tips for Roasting Brussels Sprouts

For even cooking, cut brussels sprouts into halves.
Rinse the sprouts and ensure they’re dry before tossing with the butter.
Shred the parmesan on the finest side of a box grater.
Lining the pan with parchment ensures the cheese sticks to the Brussels instead of the pan.
After roasting, drizzle them with balsamic vinegar if desired.

Make the oven do double duty and bake parmesan brussels sprouts with Parmesan Roasted Sweet Potatoes or even a fancy entree like this Mushroom Bacon Stuffed Pork Tenderloin. Roasted sprouts also taste great next to a Balsamic Marinated Flank Steak.

How to Store Leftovers

Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or even an air fryer, with a little extra cheese. Serve as a side, an appetizer with some Spicy Dill Dip, or dice up and add to a stir fry, an Omelette, or a Creamy Potato Bacon Soup!
