Ingredients

• 500 g Brussels sprouts
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 3 units Garlic cloves
• 2 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 50 g Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tbsp Balsamic glaze
• 0.25 tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any damaged outer leaves. Slice each sprout in half lengthwise.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the sprouts are evenly coated.

Step 4

Spread the Brussels sprouts in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet, cut side down for better caramelization.

Step 5

Roast the Brussels sprouts in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, stirring them halfway through. They should be golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges when done.

Step 6

Remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven and transfer them to a serving bowl.

Step 7

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the roasted sprouts while they are still warm, allowing it to melt slightly.

Step 8

Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the sprouts and toss gently to distribute the flavor evenly.

Step 9

If desired, add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle hint of heat.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a side dish or appetizer and enjoy!
