Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Brussels Sprouts

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow or damaged leaves. Cut the Brussels sprouts in half lengthwise.

  2. 2

    Season the Sprouts

    In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and balsamic vinegar until well coated.

  3. 3

    Roast the Sprouts

    Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet, cut side down. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are charred and tender.

  4. 4

    Add Parmesan

    Remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, then serve warm as a side dish.
