Alternative Cooking Method: Oven-Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Ingredients:

1 pound (450g) fresh Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
1/4 cup (30g) grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for added flavor)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the trimmed and halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil. Toss to ensure they are evenly coated.
Season the Brussels sprouts with salt, black pepper, and minced garlic (if using). Toss again to distribute the seasonings.
Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet. Ensure they have some space between them to allow for even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are tender and have developed a golden, crispy exterior. You can shake the pan or stir the sprouts halfway through the roasting time to ensure even cooking.
If desired, sprinkle the roasted Brussels sprouts with grated Parmesan cheese while they are still hot. The residual heat will melt the cheese and infuse even more flavor.
Serve your oven-roasted Brussels sprouts as a delectable side dish or snack.

Tips for making Air Fried Brussels Sprouts

Cooking Tips

Dry Your Brussels Sprouts: Before cooking, ensure your Brussels sprouts are completely dry. Excess moisture can prevent them from becoming crispy.
Uniform Size: Try to cut your Brussels sprouts into uniform sizes. This helps them cook evenly and ensures consistent crispiness.
Oil and Seasonings: Don’t be shy with the olive oil and seasonings. A generous coating of oil helps with the crispy texture, and seasonings like garlic, salt, and pepper add flavor.
Single Layer: Whether air frying or roasting in the oven, arrange the Brussels sprouts in a single layer. Crowding them can result in steaming instead of roasting.
Shake or Stir: If using an oven, stir the sprouts or shake the air fryer basket halfway through the cooking time. This promotes even cooking and browning.
Parmesan Cheese: If you love a cheesy flavor, consider adding Parmesan cheese right after cooking while the sprouts are still hot. The residual heat will melt the cheese.

Serving Suggestions

Lemon Zest: For a burst of freshness, try adding lemon zest to your roasted or air-fried Brussels sprouts. The citrusy notes beautifully complement their earthy flavor.
Balsamic Glaze: Drizzle a balsamic glaze over your sprouts for a sweet and tangy twist. The glaze adds a delightful depth of flavor.
Toasted Almonds: Top your sprouts with toasted almond slivers for a satisfying crunch and nutty flavor.
Bacon Bits: Everything’s better with bacon, right? Crumbled bacon pairs wonderfully with Brussels sprouts, offering a savory and smoky contrast.
Crispy Onions: Crispy fried onions provide a delightful texture and a touch of sweetness that complements the sprouts.
