Crispy, cheesy, and savory Brussels sprouts, roasted in a steam oven for optimal crispiness and coated with Parmesan cheese, garlic, and black pepper, creating a crunchy bark.

Ingredients

1 pound Brussels sprouts, ends trimmed and halved

3 tablespoons olive oil, divided

2 cloves garlic, minced (or ½ teaspoon garlic powder)

½ teaspoon salt, or to taste

Fresh ground black pepper, to taste

1 ½ cups grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the steam oven: Set your steam oven to 400°F (200°C). If you don’t have a steam oven, you can follow the same steps using a regular oven.
  2. Prepare the Brussels sprouts: Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Season the sprouts: Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the Brussels sprouts. Add the minced garlic (or garlic powder), salt, and fresh ground black pepper. Toss everything together until the sprouts are evenly coated.
  4. Arrange for baking: Spread the Brussels sprouts out in a single layer on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Make sure the sprouts are spaced out to allow them to crisp up properly.
  5. Steam and crisp: Place the tray in the preheated steam oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. The sprouts should be golden and crispy on the edges, with a tender interior. If using a conventional oven, you can bake them at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  6. Add the Parmesan: After baking, remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle evenly with grated Parmesan cheese. Return the tray to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and crisped up.
  7. Serve: Once the Brussels sprouts are crispy and the cheese is melted, remove from the oven and serve immediately as a crunchy snack or side dish.

Notes

If you don’t have a steam oven, a regular oven at 400°F (200°C) will work. Just be sure to flip the Brussels sprouts halfway through to ensure even crisping.

For extra crispiness, you can broil the sprouts for the last 2-3 minutes of baking. Keep a close eye on them to avoid burning.

For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix.

If you don’t have Parmesan, you can substitute with Pecorino Romano, Grana Padano, or Asiago, though the flavor will vary slightly.

You can add other vegetables like carrots, sweet potatoes, or parsnips. Just cut them into similar-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.

For a garlic-free version, replace garlic with onion powder, smoked paprika, or herbs like thyme or rosemary.
