Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Browned Garlic: A Culinary Symphony of Sweetness and Nuttiness
In the realm of vegetables, Brussels sprouts often find themselves overlooked, overshadowed by their more popular counterparts. However, these miniature cabbages deserve a moment in the spotlight, especially when roasted to perfection with browned garlic. This simple yet elegant dish elevates the humble Brussels sprout to new heights, transforming it into a culinary symphony of sweetness and nuttiness. With just a handful of ingredients and minimal effort, you can create a side dish that will steal the show at any gathering. Whether you're a seasoned home cook or just starting your culinary journey, this recipe is sure to impress.
The key to achieving perfectly roasted Brussels sprouts lies in caramelization. When exposed to high heat, the natural sugars in the sprouts caramelize, resulting in a sweet and slightly crispy exterior that contrasts beautifully with the tender, melt-in-your-mouth interior. Browning the garlic adds an extra layer of flavor, infusing the dish with a savory, nutty aroma.
This recipe provides detailed instructions for roasting Brussels sprouts with browned garlic, ensuring that even novice cooks can achieve restaurant-quality results. It also includes variations for those who prefer a bit more spice or a touch of sweetness. For those seeking a vegan alternative, there's a dairy-free version that uses olive oil instead of butter.
So, gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and embark on a culinary adventure that will leave your taste buds dancing with delight. Roasted Brussels sprouts with browned garlic await your discovery – a dish that will redefine your perception of this often-underrated vegetable.

Steps:
- Place a rack in the upper third of your oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees Place the Brussels sprouts and garlic in the center of a large rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and any other desired spice additions. Gently mix until the Brussels sprouts are evenly coated, then spread them into a single layer on the baking sheet. For even better crisping, flip the Brussels sprouts so that they are all cut sides down.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and stir in the parmesan cheese. Continue baking 10 to 20 additional minutes, until the Brussels sprouts are lightly charred and crisp on the outside and tender in the center. The outer leaves will be very dark too. Watch carefully towards the end of the baking time, as the cooking time will vary based on the size of your sprouts. Remove from the oven. Season with additional salt and/or pepper to taste. Enjoy immediately or at room temperature.
