Roasted Brussels Sprouts With Garlic

We’re adoring Brussels sprouts fans and eat them every which way: roasted, sautéed, balsamic glazed, or in a casserole. But we couldn’t resist trying yet another method for making this veggie taste incredible. Meet Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Garlic and Parmesan! These come out irresistibly crispy on the outside, with crunchy bits of Parmesan cheese and garlic that infuse flavor into the entire lot. Here’s how it’s done!

Tips for roasted Brussels sprouts with garlic

For these roasted Brussels sprouts with garlic and Parmesan, we tested out our oven convection setting as well as a standard oven setting. Turns out, a convection oven is great for making crispy Brussels sprouts! The texture turned out crisp on the outside and tender on the inside with this method. Of course, the standard oven method was great too (and very close). Use whatever setting you have access to! Here’s what to know:

Use 1 pound Brussels sprouts per baking sheet. At the most, you can go up to 1 ½ pounds on one baking sheet. But don’t use any more than that: space between the Brussels is key to getting them crispy.Roast on a parchment lined baking sheet. Silicone mats can make the Brussels soggy. Place them cut side up for this recipe (usually we place them down, but this one’s different!). Roast at 400 degrees for 23 to 27 minutes (standard) or 15 to 20 minutes (convection). Typically we roast Brussels sprouts at 450 degrees, but the lower temperature helps to ensure the garlic does not burn.

Keep other pans out of the oven

If you can, try to keep other pans of food out of the oven while you’re baking roasted Brussels sprouts with garlic. More food adds surface area and moisture, which can make them soggy and increase the baking time. Of course, it’s not always practical! But we’ve had them come out soggy when we try to cook other foods at the same time.
