SUPER CRISPY BRUSSELS SPROUTS

If you’re here on this blog post – it’s because you’re a fan of brussels sprouts. If you’re unsure, then this is a great recipe to try out! Much like my Roasted Balsamic Brussels Sprouts and my Cheesy Pepper Jack Roasted Brussels Sprouts recipes, this Crispy Garlic Parmesan Brussels Sprouts recipe is just as simple and delicious.

The key to getting the brussels sprouts to be crispy is in the olive oil and butter mixture, as well as the panko breadcrumbs. If you don’t have panko on hand, you can certainly use regular breadcrumbs. But I do find that they end up even more crisp with panko!

This recipe has quickly become a repeat in this house and once you try it, you’ll understand why.

It’s DELICIOUS!

TIPS FOR ROASTING BRUSSELS SPROUTS

There are a few things to keep in mind when it comes to making these Crispy Garlic Parmesan Brussels Sprouts:

ROASTING TIME: Time will vary depending on how large or small the brussels sprouts are. This recipe is timed for smaller brussels sprouts, so the cook time will increase slightly if using larger brussels sprouts. Bake time is 15-20 minutes. Depending on how well done you prefer your vegetables, check at 10-12 minutes for doneness.
Larger brussels, check at 15-18 minutes. Brussels should be fork-tender. Check again at 20-25 minutes if needed.
SPACING: In order to achieve even roasting of the sprouts it’s important to lay them out onto the baking sheet in a single, spaced out layer. If they are too close, they will steam together rather than roast and crisp up.
PLACEMENT: I find that placing the sprouts cut-side down helps to create a nice seared, crispy edge that only serves to enhance the flavor.
EVEN PIECES: It’s rare to grab a bunch of brussels sprouts that will all be of even likeness and size. If your bag contains a mixture of large and small, I recommend keeping the small ones intact and slicing the larger ones in half or quarters to help ensure even roasting.
PANKO: Only have regular breadcrumbs on hand? Swap the panko out for them then!

▢ 1 1/2 lbs brussles sproouts, (ends trimmed and sliced in half)
▢ 2 tbsp unsalted butter, (melted)
▢ 2 tbsp olive oil
▢ 1/2 tsp salt, (more or less - to taste)
▢ 1/4 tsp pepper, (more or less to taste)
▢ 1 tsp garlic powder
▢ 1/2 tsp onion powder
▢ 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs, (or regular breadcrumbs)
▢ 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
Trim the ends off of the brussels sprouts. If you have a mixture of large and small brussels sprouts, slice the larger ones in half or quarters. Keep the small brussels sprouts intact.
If using all small brussels sprouts, slice in half or keep whole. I prefer mine sliced in half if they are not too small to get a nice crisp edge when they roast cut-side down.
To a large bowl, combine the melted butter, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir to fully combine. Add in the brussels sprouts and gently toss to thoroughly combine with the butter mixture.
Next, add in the panko and parmesan cheese. Toss gently to combine.
Transfer the brussels sprouts to the prepared baking sheet, making sure to create a single, spaced out layer. Arrange any sliced sprouts cut-side down.

If you have any leftover breadcrumb/cheese mixture, simply sprinkle overtop of the sprouts and press down slightly to help it stick.
Bake 15-20 minutes or until sprouts are fork-tender and lightly browned. Check at 15 minutes. Roasting time will vary based on the size of the sprouts. It's important to keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
Best served right out of the oven. Garnish with additional parmesan cheese, if desired.

BAKE TIME: Please keep in mind that roasting time will vary depending on how large OR small the brussels sprouts are. The bake time listed above (15-20 minutes) is based on 1.5 lbs of smaller brussels sprouts. Check at 18-20 minutes for larger brussels sprouts and go from there.
The sprouts should be lightly browned, crisp, and fork-tender when done. It's very easy to overcook them, so keep an eye on them.

MAKE AHEAD? I do not recommend making these ahead of time. They are best served freshly roasted out of the oven. Leftovers will soften as they sit and will be difficult to crisp up again without overcooking them.

Why won't my brussel sprouts get crispy?

If you want your roasted Brussels sprouts to be seriously crispy, you need to crank up the heat. Roasting at a low temperature won't allow them to brown properly, so you want to get that oven nice and hot before tossing in your baking sheet. Follow this tip: Roast Brussels sprouts at a minimum of 400°F.

Should I par boil brussel sprouts before roasting?

Brussels sprouts are quite dense little vegetables, so parboiling them gives you a headstart on the cooking process. It is especially helpful for dishes involving grilled or roasted Brussels sprouts, because it softens them in the middle.

Should brussel sprouts be cut in half before roasting?

Place the sprouts cut-side down: Trim and halve the sprouts and roast them with their cut side against the baking sheet. The cut side will caramelize beautifully while the outer leaves crisp. Keep the leaves: Don't discard the outer leaves that fall away as you cut the sprouts.

How do you roast Brussel sprouts so they are not bitter?

2) Add salt but we do know that salt takes down the bitterness of Brussels sprouts. It's not entirely clear how or why salt counters bitterness, but it does. Make sure you salt Brussels sprouts at the beginning of the cooking process. And then go in with a good pinch of sea salt or kosher salt before serving.
