- Short Ingredient List: Besides the Brussels sprouts, the other five ingredients (two of which are salt and olive oil) are pantry staples you probably already have.
- Healthy: Brussels sprouts are a low-carb vegetable packed with fiber and protein. And did you know that they have “almost as much vitamin C as an orange,” and they’re loaded with vitamin K, which supports bone health?
Ingredients
- Brussels Sprouts: Cut the stems off a pound of Brussels sprouts and cut them in half.
- Olive Oil to coat the Brussels sprouts before seasoning them
- Seasoning: Garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt
- Parmesan: You’ll need freshly grated parmesan cheese.
How to Make Parmesan Brussel Sprouts
- Prep: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place parchment paper on a sheet pan and spray it generously with olive oil.
- Season Brussels Sprouts: Put the cut sprouts in a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt.
- Parmesan Cheese: Coat the bottom of the prepared sheet pan with grated parmesan, leaving a one-inch border. Place the Brussels cut side down over the cheese, keeping them close together.
- Bake Brussels sprouts in the center of the oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Once the bottoms are golden and crisp and they are tender when pierced with a knife, they are ready.
Variations
- Cheese: Swap Parmesan with Pecorino Romano cheese.
- Garlic Powder: Use onion powder instead.
- Herbs: If you don’t have Italian seasoning, use any combination of dried herbs. Parsley, basil, oregano, rosemary, and thyme are all good options.

These roasted Parmesan Brussels sprouts are best hot out of the oven. However, leftovers will keep for up to 4 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
