Brussels sprouts are often overlooked, but when roasted on a bed of Parmesan, they transform into a golden, lacy, crispy delight. The sprouts stay tender inside while the cheese bakes into a savory crust that adds incredible flavor.
This dish is perfect for a quick weeknight side or a festive holiday table. It's simple to prepare, requires minimal ingredients, and delivers maximum taste. Serve it as is or with your favorite dip for extra fun.

Method
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Cut the Brussels sprouts in half lengthwise. In a large bowl, toss the sprouts with the oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and paprika until evenly coated. Set aside.
- Line a baking sheet (about 11½ x 8 inches) with parchment paper. Sprinkle the shredded Parmesan evenly over the parchment, using more or less to your liking. (The more cheese, the crispier the result, but make sure not to leave too many empty spots without cheese!) Gently place the sprouts cut-side down in neat rows on the cheese.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the cheese is deep golden. Watch closely so it doesn't burn.
- Remove from the oven and let rest until slightly cooled, 5–8 minutes. If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan and serve with a dip of your choice... or eat them as is!
- Enjoy!
💡 Tips
- Use fresh Brussels sprouts, not frozen, for the best texture.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet; leave space between sprouts for even browning.
- If the cheese starts to brown too quickly, loosely cover with foil.
