Ingredients
Scale
Brussels Sprouts
- 1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts, outer leaves removed, ends trimmed, halved
Seasoning and Toppings
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: Remove the outer leaves of the Brussels sprouts, trim the ends, and slice each in half to ensure even cooking and maximum crispiness.
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) and let it preheat thoroughly for best roasting results.
- Combine Butter and Seasonings: In a 13×9 inch baking dish, mix the melted butter, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until fully incorporated.
- Arrange Brussels Sprouts: Place the halved Brussels sprouts cut-side down in a single layer on top of the butter and seasoning mixture to ensure they roast evenly and absorb maximum flavor.
- Apply Extra Butter: Brush additional melted butter over the top of the Brussels sprouts for added richness and to promote browning.
- Roast: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the Brussels sprouts are tender on the inside and crispy on the edges. Check for doneness by piercing with a fork.
- Serve and Store: Serve the roasted Brussels sprouts warm as a savory side dish. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, consider broiling the Brussels sprouts for 1-2 minutes at the end of roasting.
- Adjust the seasoning to taste, adding more smoked paprika or Parmesan if desired.
- This recipe can be doubled to serve larger groups.
- Reheat leftovers in a hot oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.
