Ingredients
  

1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (for drizzling)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure a nice, crispy finish on your Brussels sprouts.

    Prepare the Brussels sprouts: In a large mixing bowl, combine the trimmed and halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Toss until the Brussels sprouts are fully coated.

      Arrange on baking sheet: Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easier cleanup.

        Roast in the oven: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through. You want them to be deep golden brown and crispy.

          Add the cheese: After the Brussels sprouts have roasted, remove them from the oven and immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top. Return to the oven and roast for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and slightly crispy.

            Drizzle and garnish: Once done, take them out of the oven, drizzle lightly with balsamic vinegar, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

              Serve immediately: Enjoy your crispy garlic Parmesan Brussels sprouts while they are hot, served as a delightful side dish or a tasty snack!
