Let’s Make Some Yummy Parmesan Crusted Brussels Sprouts!

You know, I used to not like Brussels sprouts much. But then I tried making them like this, and wow, it’s a game changer! They get all crispy and cheesy – so good!

What You’ll Need

• 8 oz. fresh Brussels sprouts, cut in half: Pick ones that are nice and green. Cutting them in half lets them cook just right.
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese: This is the magic stuff that makes them super tasty! I like to use the real stuff, not the powdered kind, but you do you.

Let’s Get Cooking!

1. Heat up the oven: Set your oven to 425F. This gets it nice and hot to make the sprouts crispy.
2. Get your pan ready: Grab a 9-inch square pan and give it a quick spray with oil. This stops the cheese from sticking.
3. Make a cheese bed: Spread the Parmesan cheese all over the bottom of the pan. It’s like a tasty blanket for the sprouts!
4. Add the sprouts: Put the sprouts in the pan, cut side down, right on top of the cheese. This is key for getting them crispy.
5. Bake time: Pop the pan in the oven for 30 minutes. Keep an eye on them – you want the cheese and sprouts to turn a nice golden brown. If they need a bit more time, go for it!
6. Cool down: Take them out and let them sit for 10 minutes. This makes the cheese get hard and crunchy.
7. Eat up: Serve them while they’re still warm. They’re great as a side dish or even a snack.

That’s it! Super easy, right? And they are so tasty. I hope you love them as much as I do. Happy cooking!

Preparing the Perfect Parmesan Crusted Brussels Sprouts

First things first, it’s essential to choose the freshest Brussels sprouts you can find. I love this because it really makes a difference in the final result. Simply cut them in half, and you’re ready to go.

Tips for a Delicate Crust

When it comes to getting that perfect Parmesan crust, it’s all about the even distribution. Sprinkle that shredded Parmesan cheese evenly over the bottom of the baking pan, and you’ll be golden. Trust me on this one!

From Oven to Table

With your Brussels sprouts arranged and your cheese sprinkled, it’s time to pop that pan into the oven. Preheat it to 425F, and bake for 30 minutes or until that crust is golden brown. Remove it from the oven, let it cool for 10 minutes, and then serve it up. I like to serve it warm, but you can certainly serve it at room temperature or even chilled, if that’s your thing.

Storing Leftovers

If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers, don’t worry, they’ll keep just fine in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just be sure to reheat them in the oven or microwave until they’re crispy again.
