    Variations To This Recipe

    Variations can be easily created by altering the mix of seasonings used when the brussels sprouts are roasted, to change the flavor easily. From simply salt and pepper to cajun seasonings, a sprinkle of Old Bay, or even Chinese five-spice can drastically change your experience.

    • For a crunchier topping, consider sprinkling panko breadcrumbs over the top of the brussels sprouts after the olive oil but before roasting them.
    • For an Italian twist, consider adding some high-quality prosciutto and more garlic. The meat will add some more fats and a depth of flavor that is hard to beat.
    • An amazing Asian take on this dish would have you toss the sprouts with a honey and sriracha blend, for a sweet-hot flavor that goes with everything. A little extra honey before roasting also creates a nice caramelizing effect.

    Top Tips

    • Feel free to play with different types of cheese, you don't have to limit yourself to freshly shredded parmesan cheese, try other hard cheeses like asiago and romano for more complex flavors.
    • Like everything else in life, parmesan roasted brussels sprouts only get better with bacon. Fry up some bacon, and use that as the base to fry your brussels sprouts initially. Not only will the crispy bacon add worlds of flavor to your brussels sprouts, but they'll make them even more tender and add more browning ability.
    • Also, be sure to try this brussels sprouts recipe in your air fryer.

    How do I store leftovers?

    Leftovers should be refrigerated promptly in an airtight container.

    How Long Will This Food Last In the Fridge?

    Leftover parmesan roasted brussels sprouts should last several days in the fridge, up to a week, provided they are stored properly.

    How do I Reheat This Dish?

    It's recommended that leftovers are reheated in the microwave, as reheating in the oven can cause the Brussel sprouts to dry out.

    The cheese used in this parmesan brussel sprouts recipe is also more likely to begin to burn if reheated in the oven.

    Can this recipe be scaled?

    Yes, it sure can. Working with a toaster oven in a small flat? Not a problem, the recipe can be halved or quartered easily.

    Need to feed a fleet? Easily double or triple the recipe, and roast the parmesan brussel sprouts on a large baking sheet, or several!
