Garlic Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Garlic Roasted Brussels Sprouts: 

With just a few ingredients and a simple roasting method, these sprouts become a savory and delicious side dish you'll have on repeat.
Ingredients
1½ pounds fresh Brussels sprouts 680 grams
6 cloves garlic minced or pressed
2 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary minced
salt and pepper to taste
¼ cup pine nuts
¼ cup parmesan cheese freshly grated

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). We also need to preheat a large-rimmed baking sheet.

Trim the ends and remove any discolored outer leaves.
Rinse and pat dry.

Cut sprouts in half and place in a large mixing bowl.
Toss with garlic, oil, rosemary, salt and pepper.

Arrange cut side down on a large sheet pan and roast for about 15 minutes.  Turn over and cook for another 15 minutes.

Add pine nuts during the last 5 minutes of cooking time.
Remove from oven, grate cheese over top and serve immediately.   Easy recipe!

Notes
Dry properly. In order to obtain the crispiest Brussels sprouts, use clean tea towels to get that extra moisture out.

Uniform size ensures even roasting. Leave the smaller ones intact; cut the medium one in half; cut the larger ones in quarters.

Always preheat your oven. A hot oven is essential in achieving that crispy texture.

Properly coat with oil. Use a bowl to combine all the ingredients together; ensure a thin layer of oil on all Brussels sprouts.

Use different nuts. Replace pine nuts with almonds, walnuts, sesame seeds, or pecans. Endless possibilities.

Use different toppings. If desired, replace grated Parmesan cheese with ricotta salata, feta or even blue cheese. Feel free to drizzle with balsamic vinegar or even lemon juice to get that flavor boost.
