Ingredients
- 2 cups (300 g) Brussels sprouts, cleaned and cut in half
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1 cup (100 g) grated Parmesan cheese
- To clean the Brussels sprouts: remove the back and loose leaves. Cut in halves. Make a cross in the back with the larger sprouts to make sure they cook evenly.
- Not a fan of garlic? Omit the garlic altogether.
- Substitute the Parmesan for nutritional yeast for a vegan variety. Make sure to add the nutritional yeast 5 minutes before the sprouts are ready to prevent from burning.
- This recipe works well with pre-packed shaved Brussels sprouts too. Reduce the roasting time.
- Top with more Parmesan, crumbled feta, chopped parsley and/or chopped scallions for more flavor.
- No need to add salt as the Parmesan cheese will give a savory flavor.
