How to make Crispy Garlic Parmesan Brussels Sprouts
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Prepare the Brussels Sprouts
Cut brussel sprouts in halves or quarters. I chose quarters because I am picky and think that brussel sprouts are often undercooked.
In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and chili flakes (if using). Ensure they are well coated.
Arrange on the Baking Sheet
Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the baking sheet, cut side down. This helps them caramelize and get crispy.
Roast the Brussels Sprouts
Roast in the oven for 20–25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking. They should be golden brown and crispy on the edges.
