Ingredients
Scale
Brussels Sprouts
- 500g / 1lb brussels sprouts (about 3cm / 1.25" wide)
Seasoning & Toppings
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/3 cup (30g) parmesan, finely grated
- 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 200°C (400°F) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for roasting the brussels sprouts to a crispy golden brown.
- Prepare the Brussels sprouts: Trim the base off each sprout, cut them in half, and remove any loose or rough outer leaves for a clean finish and even cooking.
- Coat the sprouts: Place the prepared sprouts in a bowl, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, and toss gently to coat them evenly with oil.
- Season and add toppings: Sprinkle minced garlic, salt, black pepper, finely grated parmesan, and panko breadcrumbs over the sprouts, then toss again to combine all the flavors and coat evenly.
- Arrange on baking tray: Spread the coated sprouts out on a baking tray, placing them cut side down to maximize crispiness on the flat surface.
- Roast the sprouts: Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then flip the sprouts over and continue roasting for an additional 10 minutes. They should be deep golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Serve immediately: Transfer the roasted sprouts to a warm serving bowl. Scrape any loose parmesan and breadcrumb mixture left on the tray and sprinkle it over the top for extra crunch, then serve while hot and crispy.
Notes
- Brussels Sprouts – Choose sprouts about 3cm (1.25") wide for the best balance of sweetness and texture. Smaller sprouts are sweeter but cook too fast; larger ones have a stronger cabbage flavor.
- Frozen Brussels Sprouts – If using frozen, thaw in a colander to drain well and dry them thoroughly to help achieve crispiness. The parmesan and panko breadcrumbs will enhance the texture even with frozen sprouts.
- Panko Breadcrumbs – These Asian-style breadcrumbs are larger and flakier than regular breadcrumbs, providing an extra satisfying crunch.
- Storage – Leftovers keep well in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. Reheat in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 7 minutes to restore crispiness before serving.
