🥘 Ingredients
Brussel Sprouts- You will need some fresh brussel sprouts that have been washed and trimmed.
Olive oil- Using olive oil will help to give us a nicer caramelization and a more evenly cooked brussel sprout.
Whole Lemon- For added color, freshness, and tangy goodness, you will want to use a fresh lemon.
Garlic Cloves- While I often suggest jarred minced garlic, this is a recipe where fresh whole garlic cloves is greatly preferred.
Parmesan Cheese- Adding some shredded parmesan to the dish will elevate the flavors thanks to the salty cheesy flavor it brings.

🍴 Recipe Tips
A big thing to note about making garlic parmesan brussel sprouts is that not all brussel sprouts are the same size.
Depending on how large your brussel sprouts are, you may find that they need to be cut into halves, quarters, or even into 6 pieces per head. To do this well, I recommend slicing them vertically so that each section still has a piece of the bottom of the sprout. This will help to hold each section together better so that it doesn't become a dish of scattered leaves.
💭 FAQs
You can prepare your brussel sprouts up to 2 days in advance but keep in mind that once sliced, brussel sprouts can dry out. To extend the fridge life, keep them stored in an airtight container for maximum freshness.
Absolutely! Brussel sprouts, like any other veggies should be washed thoroughly before consuming. Clean them by rinsing them under water and removing the outer few leaves. This should help to take away any dirt or debris. Alternatively, you can soak them in a large bowl of water.
Yes, brussel sprouts taste good reheated too. Simply lay them out on a baking sheet and cook at 350 degrees F for 5 minutes or until heated through. You could also microwave them for about a minute, but they do lose some crunch with this method.
