Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 pounds Brussels sprouts trimmed and cut in half
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • balsamic glaze optional, for topping

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Grater

Method
 

  1. Start by heating olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. You want the oil to be hot but not smoking, so keep an eye on it. This step is crucial as it will help the Brussels sprouts develop a nice golden color.
  2. Once the oil is hot, add in your prepared Brussels sprouts. Be sure to sprinkle them with kosher salt and ground black pepper right away. This will help the flavors penetrate the sprouts. Let them sit undisturbed for about 1 minute to allow them to begin browning.
  3. After that minute, toss the sprouts gently. You want them to be evenly coated in the oil and seasonings. Continue to cook for about 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the edges are browned and slightly charred. If your skillet gets too crowded, feel free to cook them in batches to ensure they roast nicely.
  4. Once your sprouts are beautifully browned, remove them from the heat. At this point, you'll want to toss them with the minced garlic. The residual heat will cook the garlic just enough to bring out its flavor without burning it.
  5. Transfer the roasted Brussels sprouts to a serving bowl. Now comes the best part—top them with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. This will melt slightly and create a deliciously cheesy layer over the sprouts.
  6. If you're feeling adventurous, drizzle with a bit of balsamic glaze. It adds a nice tang and sweetness that complements the savory flavors beautifully. Serve immediately and enjoy the warm, crispy goodness of your Garlic Parmesan Brussels Sprouts!
