Description
These parmesan crusted Brussels sprouts are the perfect side dish. Tender, crispy, and well-seasoned, they're perfect as a pairing for a steak, and are great for the holidays! We paired them with a hot honey mustard dipping sauce for even more flavor.
Ingredients
Brussels Sprouts:
- 12-15 brussels sprouts
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon mustard powder
- Pinch of cayenne pepper
- 1+ cup grated parmesan cheese
Hot Honey Mustard:
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce of choice
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400˚F. Toss Brussels sprouts in olive oil and transfer to a baking sheet.
- Cover with aluminum foil and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through cook time, until fork tender. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
- In a small bowl, mix together the salt, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, mustard powder and cayenne.
- Trim the ends and then cut the Brussels sprouts in half. Optional: flatten the Brussels sprouts by placing another sheet pan on top and pressing down. Season the cut side liberally with seasoning mix.
- Place a pinch of parmesan down on a sheet pan for each Brussels sprout half, then place them flat side down on the parmesan and press down gently. Sprinkle seasoning on top of each sprout.
- Return to the oven for 10-12 minutes, until the cheese is crispy. Meanwhile, whisk together all ingredients for the hot honey mustard.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly, then use a spatula to release from the pan. Serve warm with dipping sauce and enjoy!
Notes
Don't use parchment paper! Place the cheese directly on to the sheet pan. This is the nonstick sheet pan we use.
If your Brussels sprouts are small, you'll need to use smaller amounts of the listed quantities and use a shorter cook time. For reference, we typically use brussels sprouts that are about an inch in diameter.
Grate your own parmesan. Pre-grated parmesan usually has anti-caking agents, which prevent the parmesan from melting evenly. We would also recommend not using the artificial parmesan sold in tubs - it won't work.
Storage: We'd recommend eating fresh, but if you want to, you can place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator and enjoy within 3-5 days.
You can also freeze in an airtight container and enjoy with 3-6 months.
To reheat, place them cheese side down on a sheet pan and cook in a 400˚F oven until heated through, about 5 minutes.
