A quick and easy recipe for crispy baked brussel sprouts seasoned with Italian herbs and topped with melted Parmesan cheese, perfect as a flavorful and healthy side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450 grams) brussel sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (blend of dried basil, oregano, thyme, and rosemary)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/3 cup (about 30 grams) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Red pepper flakes (optional, a pinch or two)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Trim the stem ends and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves from the brussel sprouts. Cut each sprout in half lengthwise.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved brussel sprouts with olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange the sprouts cut side down in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 20 minutes, flipping the sprouts halfway through baking using tongs or a spatula.
  6. After 20 minutes, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the sprouts. Add red pepper flakes if desired.
  7. Bake for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese melts and crisps up. Watch closely to prevent burning.
  8. Remove from oven and serve immediately. Optionally garnish with fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to avoid soggy sprouts. Use high heat (425°F) for crispy edges. Flip sprouts halfway through baking for even browning. Use freshly grated cheese for best melting and crisping. Dry sprouts thoroughly before tossing to prevent steaming. For extra crispiness, broil for 1-2 minutes but watch carefully to avoid burning. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven at 375°F for 10 minutes.
