Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1-pound Brussels sprouts, cleaned and trimmed
  • 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced or chopped
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 3 tbsp. good quality olive oil or for Keto, butter flavor coconut oil

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat the oven to 400°F.
  • If needed, clean and trim the Brussels sprouts; cut in halves; dry the sprouts very well before cooking; place in an oven safe dish.
  • Add the garlic, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper, followed by the olive oil; toss to coat. 
  • Place in the pre-heated oven and roast, uncovered, for 20 to 25 minutes until crisp, brown and caramelized on the outside and tender on the inside.
  • Remove from the oven and serve with more grated cheese.

Notes

Brown is good - If you’ve never cooked Brussels sprouts this way, at first glance you may think it looks burnt out of the oven, but once you taste it, you’ll know those little “burnt” areas are the best tasting parts. 
For extra caramelized area, place the sliced Brussels sprouts cut-side down on the pan; this will give a larger browned surface area.
Leave smaller sprouts whole to avoid overcooking.
