Ingredients:

• 16 oz Brussels sprouts
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

Step 1: Prep the Brussels Sprouts

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Wash the Brussels sprouts and trim the tough ends. If they are large, you can cut them in half for more even cooking.

Step 2: Season and Toss

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the prepared Brussels sprouts, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss them together to ensure they are evenly coated.

Step 3: Roasting

1. Spread the seasoned Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure to give them some space so they roast and don’t steam.
2. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside. You can give them a gentle shake or stir halfway through for even browning.

Step 4: Garlic and Parmesan Finish

1. While the Brussels sprouts are still hot, transfer them back to the mixing bowl. Add the minced garlic and Parmesan cheese.
2. Toss everything together until the garlic is fragrant, and the cheese is slightly melted.

Step 5: Serve and Garnish

1. Transfer the Garlic Parmesan Roasted Brussels Sprouts to a serving dish.
2. If you desire, you can sprinkle them with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and added freshness.

Step 6: Enjoy!

1. Serve these delectable Brussels sprouts as a side dish or even as a tasty snack. They make a great addition to any meal.
