Parmesan Brussels Sprouts
This is the best way to eat Brussels Spouts in my opinion! They are covered in olive oil, honey, nutritional yeast and baked in the oven with a parmesan cheese crust. Serve these along side any protein or as a fun and delicious appetizer that will leave your guests asking for the recipe.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 lbs brussels sprouts cleaned and cut in half
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese grated fine
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 tbsp breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/2 tsp salt
Dipping Sauce:
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp sour cream
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 1/2 fresh lemon juiced
Instructions
- Begin by bringing a large pot of water to a boil.Set your oven to 425 degrees.*Tip: you don't need to blanch the brussels sprouts if you want a crunchier texture! Blanching them will keep a softer inside, and crunchier outside.
- Clean and halve your brussels sprouts.
- Add your brussels sprouts to the boiling pot of water and blanch for only 1 minute. Strain and let cool for 5 minutes.
- Add your brussels sprouts to a large bowl and add your olive oil, honey, nutritional yeast, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, chilli flakes, breadcrumbs and salt. Gently mix to combine.
- To a large baking sheet add parchment paper or spray generously with cooking oil. Set aside.
- Add each brussels sprouts half to the parmesan cheese, covering entirely, and place face down/cheese side down on the baking sheet. Repeat.(For a visual please watch my video posted above!)
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until crispy and golden.
- While your brussels sprouts are roasting, make your dipping sauce.
- Once your brussels sprouts are finished cooking, use a spatula to remove them from the baking sheet, let cook for a couple minutes and enjoy!
