1 lb Brussels sprouts Trimmed and halved
2 tablespoons Olive oil Can substitute with avocado oil for lower calories
to taste Salt Adjust according to dietary needs
to taste Black pepper
½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated Can substitute with nutritional yeast for dairy-free option
1 teaspoon Garlic powder Can omit for garlic allergies

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and slice them in half to ensure even roasting.

In a large bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts, olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and grated Parmesan cheese. Toss until evenly coated.

Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet with space between them.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, stirring gently halfway through.
Check for doneness; they should be crispy and golden brown on the outside and fork-tender inside.
For extra crunch, broil them for an additional 2-3 minutes if desired.

Remove from oven and let cool for a minute. Optionally, sprinkle with additional Parmesan or fresh herbs before serving.
Serve hot as a side dish or snack.

Ensure not to overcrowd the baking sheet for optimal crispiness. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
