Ingredients
  

1.5 lbs Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

4 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional for finishing)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.

    Prepare the Brussels sprouts: In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika (if using). Ensure the Brussels sprouts are evenly coated.

      Arrange on baking sheet: Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, cut-side down. This will help them caramelize and get crispy.

        Roast the sprouts: Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. About halfway through roasting, give them a quick stir to ensure even cooking.

          Add cheese: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the roasted Brussels sprouts evenly with grated Parmesan cheese. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and become slightly crispy.

            Finishing touch: If desired, drizzle the Brussels sprouts with balsamic vinegar right before serving for an extra burst of flavor.

              Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven, and sprinkle with fresh parsley for color and freshness. Serve hot as a side dish or appetizer.
