  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt or 1/2 teaspoon table salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Topping

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese see note 2

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. 
  • In a bowl, mix together the Brussels sprouts, 3 tablespoons olive oil, water, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
    2 pounds brussels sprouts, 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon water, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Place the Brussels sprouts cut side down on the baking sheet. Cover the baking sheet tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove the tin foil and bake for 10 to 12 more minutes or until the Brussels sprouts are browned and crispy.
  • While the Brussels sprouts are cooking, heat the olive oil in a saucepan. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes.
    2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 cloves garlic, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Remove the Brussels sprouts from the baking sheet to the bowl you mixed them in and toss them with the cooked garlic, red pepper flakes, and oil. Then top with Parmesan. Serve warm and enjoy.
    1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

Notes

  1. Prepare the brussel sprouts by removing any damaged outer leaves, cutting off a small bit of the stem and cut them in half. Read more about that here: how to cut brussel spouts.
  2. I highly recommend using freshly grated Parmesan cheese for this recipe.
