Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the halved Brussels sprouts in a large mixing bowl.
- Add olive oil, melted butter, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
- Toss well until the sprouts are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Roast for 18–20 minutes until the sprouts are tender and crispy on the edges.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle the hot sprouts with grated Parmesan cheese.
- Drizzle lightly with balsamic glaze if desired before serving.
Variations
- Bacon Brussels Sprouts: Add crumbled crispy bacon before serving for a smoky twist.
- Lemon Garlic: Finish with fresh lemon zest and a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness.
- Spicy Version: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper.
- Honey Balsamic: Mix a little honey with the balsamic glaze for a sweeter finish.
Tips
- Roast the Brussels sprouts cut-side down for maximum caramelization.
- Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure the sprouts crisp instead of steam.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best melting and flavor.
- For extra crispiness, place the baking sheet on the top rack of the oven during the last few minutes of roasting.
- Serve immediately while the sprouts are hot and crispy for the best texture.
